I am a dynamic sales management professional, as well as an experienced makeup artist. My strengths lie in opening and developing new territories within the market, with a knack for increasing sales revenue. With years of management experience, I have greatly refined my problem-solving skills, as well as my communication and team building skills. With these experiences, I believe the key to a business' success is the integration of empathy to further align oneself with a company's core values. I have worked under multiple luxury beauty and fashion brands such as Christian Dior, Shiseido, Lancôme, Clarins, Borghese, and Porsche Design U.S., to name a few. I have published, promoted, merchandised and implemented company projects, along with having managed operations as well. I have multiple years of experience in managing social media and websites, publishing both articles and creating content. I have also conducted interviews with celebrities, covered events in writing, and collaborated with influencers for the purpose of expanding business.
I have expanded upon my experiences in luxury sales as a management professional in Christian Dior Beauty and Fragrances. I run a solo social media account to advertise the luxury products and services my counter at Bloomingdale's Soho offers, in addition to my managing expertise. I also plan and coordinate special events at this location such as Dior Spa events, as well as outsourcing events with influencers to collaborate with. I frequently clientele and manage day to day business operations. I am in constant communication with my executives and team for the purposes of strategic planning and problem-solving.
My experience in sales for Lancôme continued at the Bloomingdale's SoHo location, where I maintained and built meaningful relationships with my clients, coordinated and planned cross-promotional events.
I worked closely with the editor-in-chief to utilize avenues of social media to publicize the magazine, as well as manage a team of writers, helping to proofread and edit their work, as well as oversee strategic planning and the implementation of key projects, ensuring deadlines were met on time. My strong communication, writing and organizational skills played a significant role in maintaining positive work flow, as well as great synergy with my team members. I engaged in networking and collaboration with business leaders in various aspects to enhance and fulfill the missions of the magazine.
I worked in sales, makeup artistry, consultations, outsourcing, coordination, and planned cross-promotional events at the Bloomingdale's 59th Street location. I have also participated in various makeup artistry projects and photoshoots together with Porsche Design U.S., BCBG Max Azria and Jorge Vega Umana.
