Passion for the outdoors and the mountains

Global Brand Coordinator / Wholesale Operations Specialist

Administration & Clerical

With a high interest in management and marketing, one of my ultimate professional goals is to build a career in a managerial position within a company that mirrors my desire for athletics, business operations, and the outdoors. I graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder in the Leeds School of Business with a Bachelor’s of Science in Business Administration with an emphasis in Operations Management and Marketing. I am seeking opportunities where I can apply my strong work ethic along with my knowledge and skills in both management and marketing to help enhance business. Growing up in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, Ski Town USA, I have a strong passion for skiing and sports in general. I have grown up as a competitive ski racer, gaining awards and attending Junior Olympics, among other elite races. Participating in a competitive sport has taught me how working hard and having a strong passion assists in the ability to succeed.
