Well-made products (and, by extension, experiences) bring out one's best self. This statement guides me in every piece I buy, every display I assemble, and in the way I speak to every customer.

I have a strong work ethic in order to give myself every opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed in the retail industry.

I challenge myself both mentally and creatively; my best work and ideas come when I am faced with a near-impossible task to overcome. Innovation is at the heart of retail, and finding new ways to solve old problems will serve me well.

I strive to remain positive in every situation. I encourage those around me; when individuals are told that their ideas are valued, they are willing and inspired to work harder and think bigger.

I am loyal and dedicated. From every-day office tasks to huge design projects, I will tackle it head-on with passion and a willingness to learn.

I endeavor to be a well-traveled person, exploring as many new cities, cultures, and ideas as I can. The more well-informed you become, the more perspective and creativity you can bring to your work.
