Minnesota born and raised, Aimee Henrichs now calls Trilix and Iowa home. Aimee brings strong relationship-building skills into her project management role from her diverse background in athletic facility management, employee recruitment and branded apparel account management.
What is your professional background?
After graduating from Minnesota State University Moorhead with a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology and exercise science, I moved to Iowa and worked as an operations manager at the Aspen Athletic Clubs in Ankeny before leaving to pursue a career with better hours. Following a brief stint in recruiting, I moved into the marketing/advertisement world at Sigler in Ames, where I worked on the apparel team as an account/project manager. After spending three years at Sigler, I felt it was time to advance my career once more and worked at a different marketing agency before coming to Trilix.
Describe your perfect day.
My perfect day takes place in Colorado with the sun shining and temperatures reaching 78 degrees. We have an early wake-up at 7 a.m. to begin the day with an outdoor workout like hiking. Afterwards, my fiancé and I visit a coffee shop before I start shopping with friends in the afternoon at the local boutiques. Then, we would go to dinner/drinks somewhere nice that has live music with our families and friends. Then in bed immediately after dinner — preferably by 10 p.m.
What motivates you at work?
Encouraging leadership and co-workers! Campaigns that matter. Projects that tell a good story. And happy clients!
