Summary
Passionate about the world of fashion, my professional journey has been a dynamic blend of creativity and versatility. With a solid foundation in retail, where I collaborated closely with visual merchandisers to curate compelling displays, I transitioned into executive assistant roles to accommodate my schedule at the time.
Taking a hiatus to explore the world through travel, I returned in late 2019, embarking on a new chapter with the arrival of my son in 2020. Despite my foray into the legal realm over the past few years, my heart has consistently gravitated towards the fashion industry—a passion I am eager to reignite.
With a long-term commitment to the fashion sector, I am enthusiastic about finding a position that can evolve into a long term role. Eager to blend my legal insights with my innate understanding of style, I am excited about the prospect of making a lasting impact on the growth and success of a vibrant fashion enterprise. Open to possibilities that align with my skills and passion, I am ready to embark on the next chapter of my career in the ever-evolving world of fashion.
