My Story

An appreciation and passion for the outdors that was fostered throughout childhood and refined during the years getting my undergraduate degree in Studio Art has defined my post-college career and is still a guiding factor in my life today. For the past five years post college I have worked within the outdoor industry in varying roles, mostly sales oriented. My path within the outdoor industry consisted of beginning with seasonal outdoor work, to working for an outdoor retailer to working for a prominent outdoor brand in sales. During my time at SCARPA I applied and got into the Skip Yowell Future Leadership Academy, which is a leadership program for outdoor industry individuals put on by the Outdoor Industry Association. Throughout the program there was a focus on strategic career development, which involved taking a close look inward to truly evaluate our strengths and weaknesses in an attempt to uncover our passions to then form a career around those. During this process I found that my curr

1. What role does empathy play in your life and how has it helped you?

• Having had a handful of jobs in retail and customer service oriented positions empathy has been at the center of my success in those positions. Having constantly worked with end consumers, typically in a seller/buyer type scenario, empathy is a key tool to create rapport and trust within that brief encounter. On the customer service side of the work when you often are dealing with an unhappy or frustrated customer it is essential to use empathy to better understand where they are coming from and why they are acting in this way. Having that understanding makes conflict resolution significantly easier while also providing a solution that they will find agreeable. It is a skill that has been essential to my success in previous professional roles.

1. What is your greatest strength and how do you know?

• My greatest strength is my ability to strategically problem solve with a high attention for detail. This strength has led to success in past jobs and is also feedback I have received from past employers. Most jobs are essentially a serious of problems or issues that need solving in a timely manner, especially if you work in sales/customer service, and the ability to strategically and efficiently solve those problems will lead to success. I feel like in past jobs I often became the person in the office that people would come to if they have a question about something. Being able to think ahead and see the potential outcomes and plan accordingly is very beneficial and often saves time in the long run as well as eliminating potential mistakes. I think this strength is the leading factor in the career successes I have experienced thus far.

2. How do you work best?

• I often work best by myself or on a very small team - like me and a couple of other peo

1. On a website, what is the purpose of HTML code?

• The purpose of HTML code on a website is to describe the structure of the pages. It provides the structure and characteristics of text and other features on the website. If you have a sentence that is meant to be a header then it is HTML that defines that sentence as a header using HTML elements.
