  • Wearer of many hats in a small business environment. When I first started, it was my goal to learn how to do every job at the company. Ultimately, I never closed a sale or got to design a book, but I did a lot. Titles I held include Office Assistant (July 2011 - April 2012), Accounts Receivable Coordinator (April 2012 - July 2013), Customer Service Coordinator (April 2012 - Nov. 2015), Distribution & Fulfillment Coordinator (April 2012 - Nov. 2015), and Distribution Manager (Nov. 2015 - Jan. 2016). In the distribution and fulfillment roles I oversaw the movement of merchandise from the printing press to 3PL distribution points for wholesale and online order fulfillment and media clients. I managed inventory across several national distribution points and local facilities, and designed order systems for client partners to ensure smooth distribution and fulfillment.
