From the auction block to a Fortune-50 company — not a path I expected, but one I’m grateful for.

I’ve recently stepped into the company’s dedicated online auction role as Online Auction Administrator supporting the Planogram and Design Center at Lowe’s Home Improvement, and I appreciate the opportunity to help build and support a centralized corporate auction program at this scale.

The work centers on overseeing online auctions that support internal operations while turning surplus planogram and design center assets into real value. These auctions generate hundreds of thousands of dollars annually for the Lowe’s Employee Relief Fund, and they also support millions of dollars each year in donations to Habitat for Humanity ReStore locations.

What’s been especially rewarding is seeing practical, real-world auction experience translate into meaningful impact inside a large, complex organization.

Grateful for the opportunity and looking forward to continuing to build the program.
