About me
Passion for Fashion
Ever since I was a little girl, I had a passion for fashion. I loved to dress up and pick my outfits out the night before school. When I went shopping, I would have little fashion shows and show my mom my new outfits. I even won best dressed in high school. In my free time I enjoy making candles and reconstructing a garment I no longer wear anymore and making it into something I can wear.
I am currently a student at LIM College, pursuing my Master degree in Fashion Merchandising and Retail Management. After completing my Master degree, I plan on a career as a production coordinator and working my way up to a coordinator manager.
I am looking for a production coordinator job. My internship is coming to an end as a production coordinator and I need to find a job to start my fashion career. I enjoy being a production coordinator as it lets me see both sides of the merchandising and the design side and how the process goes by starting the garment as a piece of fabric and seeing the outcome of the finished garment.

Projects
Dreamwave
Intern Summer 2023
At Dreamwave I had the opportunity to communicate with vendor's over sea through vis email. I also had the chance to work with the design team on reviewing strike offs making sure they match the exact pantone color. If the pantone does not match I have to communicate with the factory through tracker and they will send a new strike off to review.
For my final internship project, I am cleaning out the production closet to get rid of any items from 2022, that we will be selling for the sample sale. I have to create a list in excel of what items we are keeping to know if we have to pull a sample to send to a factory we can check the file to see what bin the item is in.
MPSR 657 TECHNOLOGY IN FASHION MERCHANDISING AND MANAGEMENT
I created an omni Channel flow chart for my technology in fashion course that I did on Stella McCartney. For our final project we had to create a presentation on a brand we choose on its customer tribe, pain points, what makes the store unique, retail consent, store layout, visual merchandising, technology use in the store, customer experience, omni chart, disruption factors of the store, merchandising philosophy, and connecting the Louis Vuitton experience trip we went on to the brand we picked store.
For my principles of visual merchandising class we had to create a brand identity and floor layout. I picked the store Aerie for the assignment and created a floor plan on Canva. This assignment let me be creative on how I would create the floor layout for Aerie.
