"In 2019, I was a cashier. If you had told me that six years later, I would be finishing my corporate internship introducing our CEO, I might not have believed you. But that’s where I’m at. It only took me a few months of working here to realize that I could and wanted to do more. As the years went on, I became motivated to see what opportunities there were beyond my store, which led me to learning about the corporate internship in 2021. I was fortunate to have leaders around me who kept it real with me. One of those leaders told me that in order to get where I wanted to go, getting my degree would be necessary. So, I applied and got accepted to our Guild program (debt-free tuition program for associates). I graduated, and that opened the door for my next step. Becoming a corporate intern was a very special moment for me as it was a direct reflection of my work, my patience, and my optimism through the years. It all led to one of the most impactful moments of my career when I was selected to introduce our CEO, Marvin Ellison, for the Executive Speaker Series in the final week of our internship. I went from applying to Lowe’s because there was a store five minutes from my house to meeting the CEO six years later. The most exciting part is that I know this is just the beginning, I look forward to my next steps here and am hungry for more." – Kyle C., Outlet Supervisor #LowesLife
