American Eagle

During my time at American Eagle Outfitters, I was promoted twice from a Merchandising Associate to a Staffing Supervisor to a Selling Leader. Each role focused on different aspects of the business from visuals to hiring and training staff to driving business through guest engagement. Throughout my tenure at American Eagle Outfitters, I was always involved in visuals. I started by executing and maintaining the established visual standards during floor sets. Weekly I updated fitting room mannequins, interior displays, and fitting room bars with a focus on what the customer was gravitating towards. During floor sets, I led the execution of shops when the company directed product wasn’t available. One of my favorite visual projects I worked on was helping set up an Aerie Pop Up shop for a local university. I determined the merchandising strategy for the specific area I was working in that day.  

Once I was promoted to a leadership role, I became in charge of the hiring process; from recruiting and interviewing talent, to hiring and training them, as well as doing the scheduling. I mentored my team in their knowledge of the overall business. Day to day, I would lead the sales floor, driving sales through the analyzation of KPIs.
