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.
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.

The Fall Field wall at Parkview serves as a welcoming entrance for customers. I meticulously designed, cut, and hand-assembled the various elements to create a larger-than-life autumnal field. This installation infused the space with vibrant fall energy, harmonizing beautifully with Kowalski’s ‘The Joy of Good Food’ signage.
Designed and hand-drew a chalk mural for Kowalski’s Markets’ Minnesota Grown event, creating a bright, seasonal design that celebrated local produce and complemented the event’s visual atmosphere. The piece was meant to be both eye-catching and achievable within a limited setup time.
Created hand-drawn chalk for Kowalski’s Ice Cream event and coordinated the visual presentation of sample booths throughout the store. Designed decorations and displays to complement the event theme, while creating social media content that carried the same visual style across in-store and digital experiences.
