About Lynn Stoneking

With over 10 years of retail management experience, I am a conscious-consumer, learner at heart, and accomplished sales manager who thrives in fast-paced and dynamic environments. I have successfully led and developed sales teams, driven profits, and provided exceptional customer service across various departments and divisions at Nordstrom, one of the leading fashion retailers in the US. Currently, I am an assistant buyer at Bachman\'s Inc, a family-owned floral and gift company that values sustainability and community. In this role, I support the senior buyers with data entry, vendor relations, report generation, and special orders. I also help with the sales desk and office coordination when needed. I enjoy applying my interpersonal and creative problem-solving skills to enhance the product selection and customer experience at Bachman\'s. I am seeking to combine my passion for sustainability and customer satisfaction with my retail management expertise in a new career.
