Q: What has your career path looked like at Deckers?
A: My career has grown a lot at Deckers. I started at Deckers in 2015 as a temporary employee in the Benefits department, given my background in public health/healthcare. I had amazing managers who helped mentor me and eventually hired me on full time. After a couple of years on the Benefits team, I started to show an interest in analytics and began to pick up some projects in Compensation. Soon after, I transferred fully to the Compensation team. I left Deckers originally in 2019, but soon got the opportunity to come back to the Deckers Compensation team, where I eventually became Manager. I’m so grateful to this team and company, and so proud to have grown my career here.
Q: What’s your favorite part about working on the Compensation and more broadly the PX team at Deckers?
A: My favorite part about working on the Compensation team and PX team is that there’s always something new or different happening. It keeps me engaged and constantly learning new concepts and practices. I also love the people I work with. We all work so hard, but also always find time to be there for each other. My coworkers are my second family!
Q: What is your proudest moment in your career so far?
A: I think my proudest moment in my career was returning to Deckers and seeing the amazing growth this company has made in the past year alone. The year 2020 was difficult for all, but to see this company forge ahead, not only continuing to deliver to our customers, but also stepping up to lead incredible equality and inclusion initiatives within our company and our communities. I’m so proud to be a part of a company that truly cares about our people and communities just as much as we care about our products.
Q: What advice would you give to job seekers interested in working in Compensation or more broadly PX at Deckers?
A: My best advice would be to be yourself and do everything you can to continuously better yourself. Deckers truly values who you are individually, as does the Compensation and PX team. You’ll be a great fit if you are always willing to improve both yourself and our plans and programs for our employees.
Q: What are your goals for the Deckers Compensation team in 2021?
A: We have many goals for 2021! Overall, we are looking to update and enhance a lot of our plans and practices.
Q: What is your favorite part about working on campus at the corporate headquarters in Santa Barbara, CA?
A: I love our office in Santa Barbara; it’s hard to pick a favorite! However, I’d say the overall environment is great and conducive for a high-productive but low-stress work environment. We have an open floor plan, making it easy to collaborate and feel part of the team. When you need to break away, you can take a nice walk outside on the walking path in beautiful sunny SoCal weather!
Q: What is your favorite Deckers product and why?
A: Hands down, my UGG robe! It’s incredibly cozy and I find myself wearing it often, especially when it’s chilly!
