I am highly ambitious and diligent, with a passion for the buying industry. I have a proven track record of hard work and dedication, accompanied by a strong eye for detail. I have an entrepreneurial spirit, a desire to continuously learn, and an open mind to new opportunities. I am eager to bring my skills and experience to a dynamic and forward-thinking team.
My experience working within intimates and fashion means that I have a deep understanding of the retail industry, from buying, trend predication and merchandising to material sourcing, international markets, design and production.
I am confident and experienced on Microsoft programs such as Excel, Word and PowerPoint and impressive experience on Adobe Creative (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign).
Currently seeking new opportunities to start my industry career in fashion buying.

Art and Design Foundation Diploma - DistinctionOxford Brookes University
- Oxford, United Kingdom
FMP - I explored the fragility of life and impact of our current consumerist nature on the environment, using a mixture of biodegradable and non biodegradable materials to create a growing piece of fabric which continuously grew and changed as the exhibition went on.
