As demonstrated in the accompanying resume, while a Non-Commission Officer with the U.S. Army, I successfully managed mail/postal operations throughout Northern Iraq.  In this capacity, I effectively coordinated and led personnel in processing both incoming and outgoing mail; to maximize productivity, I successfully implemented and administered a complex government data management system networking U.S. Postal Service with Military Mail services.  In this position, I also held administrative responsibilities including team performance evaluations and complex reporting to senior personnel. Prior to my recent tour of duty, I invested numerous years in retail management,  where my responsibilities ranged from hiring, training and supervising sales/customer service teams to facilitating marketing/advertising, inventory control and purchasing.  Through strategic, decisive leadership, I was able to increase sales revenue by 20% and boost bottom-line profitability.   I excel in motivating employees and creating a collaborative teamwork environment instrumental to boosting staff productivity, morale and retention and place a strong focus on delivering superior customer service.
