This week we got to celebrate half a year of hard work as a district at Dave & Busters! It’s so great to step away from the gondola for a second, regather as a team & align our goals as a district for the latter half of the year. Love working alongside this group each and every day.The Southside has such a special place in my heart. I’m ready to WIN the rest of the year & finish strong. Go District 935!! #fritolay #southtucson #tucsonpride

Last week, I was privileged enough to attend both the Southwest Regions Womens Retreat & As One Career Conference. I was able to connect with so many amazing colleagues acrosss our region, and learn from our top leadership / talent. Walking away from the event, I’m feeling empowered, excited & ready to continue shaping my leadership style. It’s inspiring to see how many strong, unapologetically fearless, and wise women there are here at Frito. I’m so lucky to work alongside them. See you next year! #SWRWinRetreat2023

No better way to re-ignite the flamin’ hot dynamic duo than a market tour! Last week, we were lucky enough to be visited by the Frito regional leadership team. My partner and I were able to show off the hard work of AJ Corral & Colin Driskell at our stunning WalMart Supercenter (#1612) We even received the honor of the “WIN BIG” chip! 11 incremental pallets, and ALL GREAT 8 LOCATIONS. ✅ Thank you for allowing us to show our PRIDE in the market. Come back again soon & we can get some Sonoran dogs. 🌵

First Region Rally in the books! ✅ Can’t imagine a better way to kickstart our way into the new 2023 year then going big in Vegas. I walked away from this rally feeling motivated, determined & ready to WIN BIG with PRIDE! So lucky to have spend time with the Tucson Zone, while meeting great & inspiring talent all throughout our NEW Southwest Region. Special shout-out to my Tucson team for truly being world class. I’m so lucky everyday to work alongside you all. And of course to our fearless leaders Ethan Widdes, Jacob Byers & Sophie Crisp. Thank you to Janelle Rowe for showing us the true meaning of servant leadership everyday. Let’s go big in 2023!! #FritoLay #PepsiCo

After almost one full year with Frito, I’ve officially been certified as a District Sales Leader in the Tucson Zone! From the first RTO, to route training, to capstone, to quest, and finishing with my mini district, I’ve been able to learn so much. I want to especially thank the entire Tucson Zone for their continued support & mentorship. I’m looking forward to the future with this awesome company. Keep an eye out Tucson, I’m coming for ya! #frito #sales #leader

One more box to check off with Frito-Lay. This week I graduated from our 2021 Capstone Class. Special thanks to our Learning & Development team Jacob Byers Tyler Peterson Addison Erhardt Cara Perez & Jason McCollum. Because of them, our new group of leaders can feel confident about moving into our roles & certification. Their jokes along the way weren't too bad either :) I was also lucky enough to be nominated by my peers as the Capstone's Rising Star! I am so thankful to constantly be surrounded by motivated and passionate individuals. I have so much to learn from every single person I've met. Can't wait to see what the future holds. #learning #future #development #leaders #fritolay

Update on life after college! Working for Frito-Lay for the past 3 months has been such a fun, rewarding & insightful journey. I am so lucky to have amazing co-workers, leaders & mentors. Casey O'Malley & I have mastered the art of popping & lacing while driving this beauty of a truck around North Tucson. Looking forward to the next couple of weeks running some routes together. #frito #lays #SalesLeaders

And that’s all folks! This month I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the Eller College of Management with degrees in Marketing & Management Information Systems. It feels great to be an alumna! As I head towards my future at PepsiCo as a Sales Management Associate, I have reflected on the many memories Eller has given me. Participating in Case Comp and the Suit Up Sales Challenge taught me grit. I was so privileged to have passionate and wise mentors. I also had the opportunity to start a company through Tech Launch Arizona with an amazing team. Thank you to all my friends and family for being there for every step along the way. Can’t wait to see what the future holds. Bear Down! 🐻⬇️

Congratulations to all Eller students & faculty! Wish we could have had our night under the stars but Javier Smith, MOL & Julio J. Peña made the virtual event so much fun. Great job to everyone who worked hard to put this together. We appreciate you!
