Work History

Store Manager

Zumiez
Lake Charles, Louisiana
08.2023 - Current

I have been with the company for three years now. Having been a store manager for two years and some change I have seen it all. To start off I was recruited when I was working Aeropostale to take on the 1st Assistant position. After my interview process and taking the position, I put in my two weeks to Aeropostale to become full time with Zumiez. Five months of being with the company my store manager quit during peak season. Which soon after I was offered the store manager role which I accepted. After a year of running positively at my home location, I was then offered to take a store in Houston. While running that location I had unfortunate family matters back home, so I had to make the decision for myself and family to move back. I understood I had to take the demotion to stay with the company, which was alright but, I am now a 1st Assistant at my home location currently.
