      • Jan 2021 - Apr 2021

      Being in charge of Sales for Clinique puts me as a beauty counter manager. This is where I stock merchandise, shift planograms, end-caps, and featured items. To keep reliable and repetitive customers, I focus on cultivating my business around building relationships with customers. I do this by spending time to understand exactly what they are looking for, analyzing their skin type, and finding products that make them feel beautiful so they purchase products they’ll love. I also broadcast on media platforms to intrigue future customers and keep current ones excited about new releases. I schedule follow-up appointments to see how people are enjoying their products with no additional fee. Show less

      I was given an unfinished vision by the owner of Banh Mi Up and had the creative flexibility to create handmade syrups, flavors, and beverages for their menu. I researched espresso machines and other equipment that would be needed, began a stock list for the ingredients and trained Banh Mi Up employees on how to craft each beverage. I sold each beverage recipe individually and sold a total of 2 drinks for their smaller menu.
