I build internal communications and programs that align teams and clarify business decisions.
What I'm looking for
At REI, I coordinate internal initiatives from planning through delivery, managing work plans, timelines, and cross-functional collaboration.
I develop multi-channel content plans and audience-focused materials that clarify business decisions for hourly employees. I also track and share communication metrics to evaluate effectiveness, strengthen alignment, and maintain consistent messaging across teams.
Previously, I led teams of 60–85 employees at REI, coaching performance, analyzing sales trends, and improving operations. I reduced shrink from 0.83% to 0.13% in under six months while overseeing inventory, scheduling, visual merchandising, and loss-prevention strategy.
My background in cognitive science, communications, research, and team leadership helps me turn complex information into clear, actionable communication.
