Goals, Values, Vision
One of my biggest goals is to be able to provide for myself and my family. With that security, I plan to give back to the community. I envision implementing gardens and mini “food forests” into neighborhoods and communities. Possibly with nonprofit work. I also plan to educate others with the knowledge I gain from my time in mentorship. I plan to attend farmers markets as well.
I have knowledge of sales from my time as a retail sales manager at The Gap. I was top 2 in my store at selling our store credit card. During my time there I also made sure that we reached our weekly goals which took our store from one of the least profitable to one of the most profitable stores in our district.
