I've been in the retail world for 30 years in different capacities and different buckets of it. I started with Nordstrom right out of high school and worked my way up to regional management there. The big transition came during 2020 when Nordstrom was not considered essential and had to close. It was kind of a pause moment in my life of what do I want to do next, and I heard some really great things about Target, so I gave it a whirl and pivoted into a store role there in HR. I loved it and found my home, and then I just grew from there within Target. What really started my current role was identifying an opportunity within retail to have a space where we could support team members, and seeing that Target had the availability to take this off the ground, I wanted to jump at the chance. I also have a daughter with special needs that was at working age at the time, and I wanted to find a way for her to be supported to work at Target, and that was going to be the way. Now I'm a senior manager for accommodations for stores at Target, and I've been in this role specifically for over a year. I started in 2023 with a pilot to centralize our accommodation process for the enterprise. I support a team of 9 that support our children location stores with our centralized process, and day-to-day it's just improving process, partnering with field HR leaders, partnering with P&D to continue to improve and educate with constant learning about compliance and just team member experience. My big lens that goes over everything is just to make sure the experience for the team member in the field is a positive one.
