About me
I have been on planet earth for 24 years, and I am looking to develop my career into an Assistant Merchandising position with my previous experience in Visual Merchandising. I have always been passionate about sustainability and making simple changes that put pressure on businesses to create
positive impacts on our environment.
I am a versatile, results driven individual with 5+ years of comprehensive experience in the fashion industry; developing relationships with clients, peers & senior management to provide creative solutions. Being in a management position I had to be organised and confident to lead and communicate a team of over 30 individuals as well as having to use initiative to adapt to evolving industry trends.
My experience has lead me to be exceptional at problem-solving, solutions based and proactive with a mindset that nothing is ever perfect and there is always room for improvement. An Assistant Merchandising position would be a perfect next step in my career as I love working in a busy environment where every day is different.
