The Interview

What is your role at Clickstop?

Category Manager

How long have you worked at Clickstop?

2-1/2 years

How did you feel upon being recognized for this award?

Excited and empowered – Being opportunistic is something I strive for in both my work and personal life. Being recognized for this provided additional encouragement to keep it up.

What do you believe has led up to this recognition?

My role is dependent upon seeking out new opportunities for our categories and executing to further the category and our brand. I love the autonomy this has given me. Over the past year, I have been digging deep into categories we currently offer as well as ones we don’t, but should be, and strategizing how to positively impact them.

Have you had struggles within this Core Trait?  If so, what have they been and how did you overcome them?

You bet – I am typically a risk averse person, so it has been a challenge for me to reach out and take a chance on something I am not 100% sure of the outcome. I’ve combated this by working to trust the data and just go for it.

Why is this Core Trait important to the success of Clickstop?

This core trait is built into our mission statement – “To create a business that is sustainable, enjoyable, and provides opportunity for those who seek it.”  Searching for opportunity is key to growth and driving the business forward. Clickstop would not be where it is today without a dedicated team of people looking for opportunities to better our future.

What brought you to Clickstop?

I started as an intern in summer of 2017 before my final semester of college, and wasn’t sure what I wanted to do upon graduation.  Clickstop opened a whole new world for me.

I loved my experience here and the work I was doing. I was offered a full-time position upon graduation and couldn’t have been more excited.

What keeps you at Clickstop?

The people, the work I do, and the future opportunities here.

Why should others want to work at Clickstop?

At Clickstop we are all empowered to own our impact and drive change. This provides the opportunity for a fulfilling career – all you have to do is act on it.

What is the coolest/craziest place you ever been to?

Muir Woods – the California redwoods are absolutely incredible.

Coolest car you ever had?

1974 AMC Hornet. It was my first (and all-time favorite) car. Unfortunately, no power break and no airbags led to a safer upgrade, so I had to say goodbye to it.
