Learn more about Alex and her time at Arborwear:

Q: What drew you to Arborwear originally?

A: I loved their values and oath to a family-like culture. Then after I talked to Heidi in my interview I knew that Arborwear is where I belonged this spring. I could just tell how much pride she had for the company and wanted to be apart of something so great.

Q: What is your favorite Arborwear memory?

A: I was unable to attend our in-person tour of the new facility since I am in Columbus for school, but I was invited to Zoom-in and they even Door Dashed me lunch since I couldn’t eat with them. I felt so included; the family-like atmosphere here is no joke!

Q: What has been your favorite project so far?

A: The Why Arborwear Wednesday initiative. It has been so fun to hear stories from our employees across the board and then spotlight them for our audience to get a glimpse into our family.

Q: What is the best career lesson/advice you’ve learned so far?

A: Your comfort zone is complacent. Get outside of that space and do something that scares you. Those projects will be the most impactful.

Q: What do you like to do outside of Arborwear?

A: Hangout with my roommates! I live in a house with 7 other girls so there’s never a dull moment. I also love to workout, listen to podcasts and excessively binge watch shows. 

Q: If you could meet anyone in the world, dead or alive, who would it be and why?

A: My grandparents who passed before I was born. Stories from my dad about them will never suffice. I’d love to hear the stories from their point of view!

Q: What are 3 words to describe you?

A: Passionate, tenacious, and ambitious.
