In late 2013 I began to work independently, consulting and working for brands, boutiques, investment companies, and personal clients. My work has included, but is not limited to, brand development, social media, sales, event planning, product training and customer service with companies/brands such as Zimmerman, FC Fund Managers, Finisterre, Nidodileda, and Luv AJ. Though my expertise is within the field of fashion and apparel, the approach of high-end customer service, attention to detail, writing and communications, as well as social media know-how have proven to be relevant in many other industries.

I worked closely with other personal stylists, management, and cross-channel teams to coordinate events catered to our stores clientele.

I am lucky enough to say that my first proper part-time role in the fashion world was at the world renowned Saks Fifth Avenue. Through a series of grueling interviews, I landed a role as a part-time fashion jewellery specialist and worked with brands such as David Yurman, Alexis Bittar, and Oscar de la Renta, to name just a few. With little training and lots of studying I was able to sell up to $20,000 of merchandise weekly.

With little training and lots of studying I was able to sell up to $20,000 of merchandise weekly. However, my greatest success was increasing sales through coordinated trunk-shows and events with both established and up-and-coming designers, and of course through creating strong relationships with specialists in the RTW department.
