In My Own Words
Looking to start a career representing an outdoor brand. I am very familiar with the California outdoor enthusiast and all of their trends. Because I have spent such a long time working for a forward-thinking retail store I believe I could be of good use to any company In helping them stay ahead of the competition through their products and events. I am also an experienced store manager in the Outdoor retail industry with a passion for the people, brands, and the lifestyle that surrounds it. I am skilled in communication, people management, and sales with a proven track record of growth.

I successfully managed a diverse team of up to 35 employees as well as mentored a management team directly under me of 5 leads.

During this time I was also the hiring manager and preformed any and all training from start to finish as well as held clinics, staff meetings, and employee behavior correction meetings.
Shift Lead
SEED People's Market2018 – 2018
I ran the day to day operations down on the floor of the store, working with customers, employees and my superiors. I created employee handbooks and training manuals, all including store policies and guidelines for employees because there were none. I helped triple employee product knowledge and customer service through the use of impromptu training clinics on the floor while the store was slow. I also upped customer service within the store while still staying within the store's strict return policy.
