Summary
I am a dedicated and detail-oriented Fashion Merchandising student at California State University Long Beach, set to graduate in May 2025. I have hands-on experience working with top-tier brands such as Merritt Charles, where I supported product launches, managed inventory, and contributed to the smooth operation of online sales. With previous roles in customer service and retail, including sales associate positions at Isabelle’s Cabinet and Jack's Surfboards, I have honed skills in personalized styling, inventory management, and driving sales. Fluent in Spanish, I bring strong communication skills, a passion for fashion, and customer satisfaction to every role.
