  • Branch Manager

    • Mar 2020 - Present
    • Missoula, Montana, United States

    Keeping two branches humming along in synch with a larger organization is a challenge, but we seem to be making it happen! Two teams of people dedicated to saying "YES" to our members, a leadership team who supports and encourages and a membership base that appreciates what we do for them makes this job a dream.

  • Missoula, MT

  • Manager

    • Mar 2018 - Mar 2020
    • Missoula, MT

    I'm in my happy place! As a 25+ year Griz fan, I now have the privilege of meeting and talking with Griz fans from all walks of life and areas of the globe on a daily basis. I'm the HR Director, IT help desk, Receiving Manager, Chief Marketing Officer and sometimes Head of Housecleaning--depending on the day.As I've switched hats day-to-day in this position, I've implemented streamlined inventory management processes, launched an online shopping site, and extended hours of operation to maximize sales through key shopping seasons. We have expanded our product lines to include a wider range of apparel sizes and created a "pop-up" shop to offer Griz apparel and gameday accessories at Griz football games and other local events where Griz fans gather. Griz fans are the best and we love to hear their stories and learn more about how they came to be so die-hard.
