I’ve spent my career in retail leadership proving that when you put people first, success follows. Whether it’s launching new stores, revitalizing teams, or mentoring future leaders, I’m passionate about creating spaces where teams feel valued, motivated, and ready to grow. Now at CALPAK, I’m helping shape the brand’s first brick-and-mortar experience, where building an engaged team is just as crucial as driving sales. I believe work should be more than a place to clock in—it should be a place to connect, contribute, and belong. People-first leadership isn’t just a feel-good philosophy; it’s a proven strategy for driving performance, boosting morale, and building lasting success.
