Putting smiles on faces—inside and outside the store—is my mission.
I am the FETL and I also am the Social Champ and Walmart+Champion. I love it all and I am a proud Walmart Associate. I have traveled to stores throughout the company and have helped them with promotional videos in their store. I have also co hosted a Walmart Shop Live with a fellow Walmart Social Champ.
I ran a dispatch department and also played the role of a dispatcher, messenger, customer service rep and ran an office.
I helped people learn how to do a proper workout to help them with their needs both physically and mentally.
