Summary

I am a motivated Sales Stylist with over 10+ years of experience managing high end Australian brands, coaching employees and fostering strong relationships with clients who have followed me from brand to brand. I have a strong focus on sales, targets, efficiency and creating a positive in-store experience for our customers.

I am enthusiastic about being a part of a brand such as Assembly Label as your classic and minimalist approach to fashion speaks volume to the timeless capsule wardrobe we all dream to have, and now have access to. The look, feel and whole experience walking into a boutique has always left me with a sense of warmth and authenticity that I would love to create for others.


Whilst I have an extensive background in Management, I am currently seeking a PPT position that will fit perfectly with my current stage of life. I am open to working toward a long lasting career with Assembly Label, and being an integral part of the team.
