I've spent the last decade working for Healthy Spot, a pet wellness company, working closely with multiple teams at all levels (warehouse, purchasing and fulfillment, marketing, store managers and associates etc.) to ensure we worked as efficiently as possible to exceed our customer's expectations and meet company performance goals and objectives.
I have over 15 years of experience in the retail industry, having previously worked with established brands like Apple and Tom Ford respectively. I have developed core competencies in all aspects of a business operations, sales, merchandising, inventory management, staff training and development and more. My professional aspiration is to stay aligned with companies whose mission and values vehemently align with my own. Wherever I can lend my passion and expertise to better support and improve existing conditions within our world, is where I'll be.
