Retail Product Manager
As a Sales Associate, duties mainly focused on customer interaction and task completion. After the promotion to Product Manager and Keyholder in March of 2017, these skills were refined and became second nature as the focus shifted from customers to employees and store operations. Customer and store product transfers occurred daily. Manifesting and merchandising said product transfers honed a sense of efficiency per the time and energy they required. Growing into leadership at first, assigning roles to associates and policing sales practices became second nature. Merchandising, although exhausting, was a favourite due to the layout and colour creativity it required. Throughout my employment I was able to expand on my passion for photography through content creation for the WLKN instagram as well, as it was our responsibility as employees to promote the brand on social media. I was able to find another creative outlet and apply myself in a very involving way.
