LuVonda Lanier is
currently the manager of multiple retail stores at the Orlando International
Airport however she had to work hard to get where she is.
Lanier had her
first child when she was just sixteen which led her to stop attending school in
order to take care of her son. However, she decided to go back to earn her
diploma. “I did return back to school to earn my high school diploma at the age
of twenty four,” mentioned Lanier.
She landed her
first job at the age of eighteen at a retail store named Debs which was aimed
to young girls. “Because I was so young at the time of my first job there were
not many places that would hire a young teenager. But Debs clothing was
targeted to young teenage girls so it was pretty easy to land a job with them,”
said Lanier.
“I love what I do,”
said Lanier. Currently, she has been doing retail for the last twelve years. Her
most memorable moment was opening the Sanrio store at the Orlando International
Airport.
Even with her
experience, she keeps learning new things with her current job as general manager.
“General Management is very new to me, so I was very nervous and excited to
have such a responsibility,” mentioned Lanier.
Amanda Hash, a
supervisor of the Sanrio store has learned a lot from working with Lanier. “Working
with LuVonda has been a great learning experience, she is a great high energy
boss that knows how to have fun and make work a great place to be,” explained
Hash.
Deleyanna Vazquez,
a Sanrio supervisor has gained experience by working with Lanier. “I’ve learned
better leadership skills, how to think on my feet and time management from
working with her,” mentioned Vazquez.
Working as a
general manager has given Lanier experience and responsibility. “It has been a
great experience and I love and respect every one of my employees,” said
Lanier.
