What is your favorite thing about your job and why?
My favorite thing about my job would have to be working with an amazing team. I am surrounded by fun, creative, and highly motivated individuals that encourage me every day to do my best. No matter what it is, I can go to them when I need help or advice in my position/work. They make my job feel less like a job and always bring positive energy to whatever we do!
What made you interested in working in the outdoor recreation industry?
Traveling is one of my favorite things to do, especially with my family. We used to go camping or stay at a cabin every year when I was younger. I enjoyed doing outdoor activities such as hiking, snorkeling, skiing, and many more! So being able to work for the outdoor recreation industry was something I knew I was interested in and I wanted to learn more about it.
How has Camping World Holdings helped you succeed as a woman in the workplace? How is this different than other companies you have worked at?
Camping World Holdings has provided me with all the resources and opportunities I need in order to grow my career. Being surrounded by successful and hardworking women has only inspired me every day to work harder and to see myself in the future where they are today.
What advice would you offer other women who are interested in a career at a Camping World Holdings brand?
Be confident and go for what you want! Camping World is here to provide you with many opportunities to grow your career. Right when I started my position at CWH, I felt very welcomed and supported especially by all the women here while I was adjusting to my new position. Lastly, don’t be afraid to go for it because, in the end, you’ll be welcomed with open arms!
What destination do you hope to visit one day?
I would love to travel to the Maldives!
