BUSINESS OWNER
Summary

The first time I meet Mary Lee was in 2012 when she needed paver installation work done at the Marietta Museum of Art & Whimsy. Since that first encounter Mary and I have continued to work together to make numerus improvements at the Museum. She is someone I consider a friend and a mentor. I have come to respect Mary for her vision and for all that she has single handedly accomplished in the opening and running the Art Museum. Having known Mary and worked for her for the last 8 years, I think I can be a great asset to the Museum as an Operations Manager. I bring with me 28 years of experience in day-today business operations management such as bookkeeping, payroll and monthly reconciliation. Flexible and adaptive team builder with expertise in sales, estimating, scheduling, customer relationship management and inventory control. Dependable and deadline-oriented self-starter with excellent customer service skills.
