Maggie LaMuro

 

Hello! My name is Maggie LaMuro.  I’m a senior majoring in Consumer Affairs at UW-Madison and I’m originally from Fort Atkinson, WI.

This past summer, I had the opportunity to work for Kohl’s as a Field Human Resources Intern.  I was able to participate in the Store Management Internship for the first half of the summer and spend the second half learning about store-side Human Resources.   As someone who had never worked in retail prior to this experience, I wasn’t aware of all the people and processes that come together to make a retail store successful.  I especially enjoyed learning different management and leadership styles and witnessing those styles firsthand in a retail setting.      

 

As someone who has never been out of the country, I look forward to seeing things from a different cultural perspective and expanding my knowledge of the retail industry.  I am so excited to be going on this trip and I am extremely grateful to Kohl’s, Li & Fung, and the Kohl’s Center for Retailing Excellence for making it possible.
