Nia Bridges

Greetings,

I am Nia Bridges. I have been the single copy manager for the Winston-Salem Journal from 2018 to 2023. Managing the single copy operations entails working with businesses and delivery partners to retain and/or increase newspaper sales at thousands of retail and or newstand newstand locations in North Carolina and surrounding areas. The market ranged from as far west as Tennesse and as far north as Galax, Virgina and as far south as Lexington, NC and as far east as Kernersville, NC.

During my term my position was modified to take on multiple tasks such as over seeing our circulation warehouse and taking on a new department working with 30+ contracted drivers and the distribution of a total market product. This was in addition to the handling single copy sales in the piedmont and Appalachian areas of north carolina and into Tennessee and Virginia. I also assessed and rerouted the hauling operations to ensure efficient delivery and reduced hauling operations by $85,000 a year.

I am adept to handling multiple contracts, renewal timelines and reviewing these documents for accuracy. I was responsible for interviewing, hiring and/or terminating delivery drivers, street salesmen and warehouse employees

I was responsible for managing all documents related to the contract such as the W9, copies of identification, insurance documents, and signed contracts. If contractors needed proof of employment or wage verification I filed these documents out and returned where needed.

On a team whos dynamics were teadily changing, I have always offered help and assisted others with whatever tasks

necessary, even if that meant volunteering to deliver open routes outside of my district for managers who had unmanageable workloads, at 3 AM in the morning. I prioritize efficiency not only on a personal level but also on my team and company wide

I am quick learner and am a self starter. I feel if given the chance I would be a great asset on your team.

Thank you for your consideration,

Nia Bridges
