Sherry Fox’s Summary

I have over 15 years experience within the Vacation Ownership Industry. I have worked in sales and marketing during that time both on site at resorts as well as the corporate offices. I have worked for a few outstanding resorts and there is so much more to learn and to contribute. In Vacation ownership, Sales and Marketing reporting stats both on the staff and the resorts on a whole. I have the ability to meet deadlines, multi-task, I learn tasks and software very quickly and am eager to take on new responsibilities.

In addition, for the last few years I have been working in Online Media. This is a new industry for me and I have welcomed each new challenge. I continue to create data sheets, reports, and specialized sheets linking to existing spreadsheets which expedite the workload for myself and other. In Online Media, my Excel and multi-tasking abilities were worked and strengthened. I strive to raise the bar on my own skill set, and to help automate many of the tasks we currently do.

Sherry Fox’s Specialties:

Microsoft Excel (all versions), Automating tasks, defining Excel templates to be used for multiple functions, Cognos, AS/400, ability to learn new software quickly.

Sherry Fox’s Interests:

I love Microsoft Excel, I just can't get enough! In my spare time I "play" in Excel, read the forums and read more books about Excel. I also enjoy dining out and of spending time with my family. And if there is a roller coaster nearby, you can bet that is where I will be!
