Summary

I am an enthusiastic team player who is driven to achieve shared team goals. I have a passion for the fashion industry especially brands that have strong core values that align with my own. I have great communication and problem-solving skills and I'm detail-oriented. My strengths are in my understanding of youth girlswear trends, however, I am interested in exploring other areas.
