"I started as a Target team member 23 years ago, working part-time while attending college in San Diego. It was not supposed to be a career - I just needed book money and some extra cash. Over time, I grew up, got married, had kids, and my career expanded. I've led stores, opened stores, and done everything in between, from that entry-level job to where I am now as group vice president for the Pacific Northwest, a role I've held for the last two years."
"The core of what makes Target is our team. It's like a small family in every building, and it's why I have stayed with the company as long as I have. There's a culture of development; a desire to teach and help you improve. Now, as a leader, I think it's important to let people get good at what they do."
