What brand(s) do you work for? Check all that apply. Good Sam What is your favorite thing about your job and why?The best part of my job is the team I work with. Many of us have worked together for more than 10 years, and we have created a fun and hardworking environment together. I believe it is important to work with a team that is collaborative, supportive, trustworthy, and committed to achieving the goals of the business; I am lucky to be part of this team. As a leader, I enjoy opportunities to mentor and develop members of my team. I love seeing the growth and excitement a co-worker has when something finally “clicks” for them as they gain new skills/knowledge.What made you interested in working in the outdoor recreation industry?Growing up in South Dakota, I spent many summers camping and boating with my best friend’s family. Over the years my love for the outdoors has grown with snowboarding trips to Mammoth Mountain and annual vacations to my parent’s cabin in the Black Hills. It is great to work for a company that supports the outdoor lifestyle I enjoy.How has Camping World Holdings helped you succeed as a woman in the workplace?
