Summary

I embarked on my journey as a full-time college student at A&T University in 2021 while balancing part-time work at Aeropostale and in landscaping. Pursuing my Associate's degree in Business and Economics, I steadily climbed the ranks at Aeropostale, starting as a sales associate and achieving the role of Part-Time Supervisor in 2022. In March 2023, I embraced the challenge of Assistant Store Manager, and within a year, I proudly became the Store Manager of Aeropostale in Wilmington, NC!
