-: So I love waking up and going to work every day
because I'm challenged personally and professionally.
I have a lot of fun with what we do.
I'm a part of a great team.
I do have to give a shout-out to my boss.
He's inspiring, down-to-earth,
and just a great person to be around
who I aspire to look after professionally,
and I've really enjoyed being a part
of the Finish Line family.
Being there for four years,
a lot of them have turned into family,
and it's a great environment to walk into every day.
And I'm not gonna lie,
wearing sneakers and jeans every day is pretty awesome.
Some of the consistent challenges
that I've been faced with at work
are usually through event planning.
I think that event planning is a lotta fun,
but it's also very intense
because there are so many little pieces
that have to come together to make the event feel good
and look good for those who are there experiencing it,
and that's always our goal is to provide
a world-class experience.
Another challenge that has come up
for me personally recently is
creating our national partnership
with Boys and Girls Club of America.
This was an excellent opportunity I was very proud to lead,
and we have taken the partnership from an idea on paper
to now we have fully thought through and tested
an employee and kid engagement program
that is going to help kids get more active
and a part of career readiness.
Whether that means they go to college after high school
or they go get a job,
we wanna make sure they are one step ahead.
So that's been a great challenge for me,
coming up with that.
