I started with RH in 2008, I had the opportunity to work at Gallery 75 in Ohio, while going to college. After working there, I started with the company again in 2011 at the Care Center in West Jefferson, Ohio. Started my journey as a Front line Advocate, moved quickly into the Support Team, transitioned into a role as a QA Analyst and then finished as the Trainer in Ohio, in charge of all New Hire Training Classes. I was then given an opportunity to further my career and manage a furniture store in Clintonville, Ohio and gained knowledge in buying, managing, sales and budgeting. I came back to RH in July 2016 to further my career. I was brought onto the Designer Services team in September and have worked very hard to learn all of the ins and outs of our Interior Design Services. I work closely with the Gallery Designers on Installations, where the order totals are $100K or more. Currently I am managing around $4.3 Million dollars in projects. I also manage all of the VIP/PR projects with our Home Office Partners our of Corte Madera, CA and are often showcased in major publications.

Constantly working with clients and customers, making sure their shopping experience is easy and simple. I help to close out a sale and add on to the existing one.

It is not just a brand, it is a lifestyle.
