Background

About Quinn Flood

A driven honors marketing student at the University of Utah with a love for the outdoors and passion for sustainability. I am especially interested in the outdoor apparel/equipment industry which combines my interests in retail sales and values. My experience working in Plato's Closet has given me the chance to work in retail, providing customer experience tailored to their style while also focusing on meeting sales goals. At Finely Home I have gained more experience with inventory management which helped me at Plato's when selecting clothing to buy for the store based off of demand/buying trends. Through my courses at the University of Utah, I have also developed persuasive communication skills, learned about DEI initiatives within the work place, and have been introduced to SEO optimization in digital marketing. I have always had a passion for helping the planet and teaching others how to do so as well. It started 4 years ago when I began beekeeping, and seeing how our actions were harming them, I started a philanthropy based club for others my age. Within this club, we volunteered at local gardens while learning about day-to-day eco-friendly habits to make. I hope to pursue similar interests in my future career within brand development and optimization helping to support businesses that can make a difference in their efforts towards advocating for our environment. Specifically, I aim to work with brands that support sustainability and storytelling, creating marketing strategy that drive action and raise purpose. I am especially interested in roles pertaining to brand strategy, digital marketing, and customer insights within the outdoor and eco-conscious retail industries.
