Naples,FL
Summary
Professional with considerable expertise in garment construction, pattern making, and alterations. Known for precision, problem-solving, and adaptability to changing project demands. Strong collaborator, ensuring seamless teamwork and high-quality results. Skilled in various sewing techniques, fabric types, and machinery operations, consistently delivering tailored, client-focused outcomes.
Extra Note: My mother was always dedicated to sewing, so much so, that I grew up surrounded by machines, fabrics and threads. From her I inherited that talent and that love for sewing and clothing. My mother dedicated her entire life to sewing in a clothing workshop, and from the age of nine, I work and sewed in that workshop. It is important to mention this details, because it is not only about to work for a company, but about what it represents for me to work in this filed, and to do it with passion and dedication, because that is what I have dedicated my entire life to in one way or another.
