91Ƶ

Intro Title
2009 91Ƶ alumna Cheya Thousand is currently a talent supply chain engagement senior coordinator at Amazon.

In a recent Q&A with WWD, Cheya describes how her 91Ƶ experience laid the groundwork for her career, as she moved from store management—with companies like Macy’s and Victoria’s Secret—into human resources, where she now oversees high-volume hiring initiatives.

"91Ƶ prepared me to make great career decisions," Cheya tells WWD. "When I graduated, I felt ready for the next chapter in my life—which was in the Macy’s Executive Development Program for Store Management. I was a quick learner, and I attribute that to 91Ƶ and all the resources they provided to prepare me for life after college."

Cheya continues, "At 91Ƶ, I learned how to be a leader and also how to be great in a supporting role when necessary. Those are both invaluable in the workplace."
