In 2026, I expanded my role by leading the Parkview store’s Facebook page, enhancing our online presence through content planning, seasonal campaigns, and collaboration across teams. I launched and managed “Donald’s Parkview Product Promotions,” a weekly series with employee spotlights and product recommendations, endorsed by Kowalski’s CEO. This initiative, in partnership with Donald, has engaged over 7,600 members in the Grocery Store Fanatics Facebook group.
Kowalski’s upper executives also selected me to oversee event planning, coordinating holiday decorations, seasonal sampling events, and department collaborations for Parkview. My focus is to create a welcoming in-store and online experience that reflects Kowalski’s brand values. Since managing Parkview’s social media, I have implemented a posting schedule aligned with the brand’s style, achieving strong results.

Over five years at Kowalski’s Markets, I progressed from counter slicer to chef and now assistant manager. I oversee deli operations, manage shelf stock, and ensure exceptional customer service.
Each Kowalski's Market location has a volunteer overseeing social media. In 2026, I volunteered for Parkview. After pitching my vision and speaking with the head of marketing, I took over the page. My main principle: stay loyal to the brand. My experience with the brand and efforts to understand its values shaped my approach before I volunteered or posted.
Since taking over Parkview's socials, I have created a posting schedule that matches the brand's rhythm. The results have been deeply gratifying. I am proud of my work with Kowalski’s marketing leadership and grateful for the opportunity.

The Summer Garden in the Parkview cafe, is my most recent project, one of the first visual moments guests encounter upon entering the store. Each flower was individually designed, cut, and assembled by hand, and eventually installed to create a layered, larger-than-life garden that brings bright summer energy to the space, complementing Kowalski’s ‘The Joy of Good Food’ signage with an organic, yet artistic touch.

Created exterior chalk art for Kowalski’s Markets Parkview during the Celebrate Summer Event, paired with a promotional poster shared on company Facebook pages. This work was recognized by Kowalski’s owner and CEO, highlighting my store-level initiative and brand alignment on Parkview's social media.
For Kowalski’s Markets' Cinco de Mango event, I enhanced the Parkview store's exterior and promoted it on the company's Facebook pages. My chalk art was part of a creative initiative that earned recognition from Kowalski’s owner and CEO, highlighting the value of location-specific, handmade touches within a large brand.
For Kowalski’s Markets Parkview Easter Event, I designed and installed a paper flower installation on the cafe's front wall, which helped create a lasting spring atmosphere and received positive feedback from customers and the store manager. I also contributed to other elements of the event to create a cohesive experience. Specifically, I worked on the event setup by designing and printing station signage for the cookie-decorating area, a jellybean-counting game, and a coloring activity.
