Previously at KeyBank, I built client relationships and provided personalized financial wellness guidance around savings and debt management.
I've also managed retail and merchandising teams at Lowe's, The Home Depot, and Smith's, including associate development, inventory, scheduling, performance reporting, vendor ordering, and customer service. At MarketStar supporting Pinterest, I collaborated with engineering, design, research, analytics, and product teams to improve evaluation experiences for Pinners.
