I have gained a unique group of skills through management of security functions and investigations while achieving significant shrink reduction and maintaining safety standards. As a seasoned LPM professional, I have developed the ability to communicate well with all levels of staff, specializing in needs identification and problem resolution. These skills have resulted in professional recognition for performance and achievements and steady career progression.
