In My Own Words
I have over ten years of experience in sales, two years of B2B marketing, six years of management and three years in the wholesale industry. Through those experiences, I have learned many aspects of the fashion industry whether it was marketing, buying, merchandising or product development. I am a dedicated and self motivating individual that loves to work in a team but can also work on my own. For the past three years, I have worked for a wholesale manufacturer where I have attended tradeshows, traveled to see our main clients and worked side by side with the designers and our overseas team. I would love to stay in the wholesale fashion industry as that is what I am passionate about. I want to be able to thrive in a company where I can have a long term career.
