Summary

I have been in retail for a total of eight years and have extensive training in all aspects of the business. I have previous Store Manager experience at Pacsun, and now have organically worked my way up to Assistant Store Manager at Earthbound Trading Company where I started off as a Sales Associate. I am looking to further my experience in a management and leadership role, and to continue to challenge myself with providing the guidance I believe my team deserves.
