Summary

I have extensive experience working in two different clothing stores, including Von Dutch, one of the most recognized and respected brands in the fashion industry. At Von Dutch, I thrived in a high-pressure, fast-paced environment where I developed strong sales techniques, mastered inventory management, and consistently exceeded customer service expectations. Working in such a popular brand allowed me to sharpen my ability to connect with diverse customers, understand their needs, and provide personalized recommendations. In both roles, I became skilled in merchandising, managing product displays, and staying current with fashion trends to drive sales. My experience in these demanding retail environments has given me a solid foundation to excel as a sales associate in a sneakers store.
