KENDRA’S PATH TO DISTRICT MANAGER

starting as a sales associate AND WORKING YOUR WAY UP

Having held a variety of roles, the advantage I have now is that I’m well-versed in every activity within the store. So it’s easy for me to lead teams, connect with team members, and more importantly, create realistic goals that

my employees are able to accomplish.
