After working at Rochelle's of Mystic, I was promoted to store manager upon the opening of a new location in Newport. Outside of customer service, my role in this store involved assisting in the buying, receiving, and pricing of merchandise. My responsibilities also included the merchandising of the store using current trends and color coordination. I used LightSpeed POS software on a daily basis for inventory management and sales.

I began working at Rochelle's as a key holder, the main focus of my job was using personal styling to assist customers with product selection. While not assisting customers my work centered on the aesthetics of the store as well as social media marketing.
