Summary

Originally from Los Angeles and a recent graduate of the University of San Francisco, I’m seeking hands-on experience in the fashion and beauty industry. I love building genuine connections with clients, whether coordinating marketing campaigns or styling models for digital content. I make it a point to ask about their goals, really listen to their needs, and follow up to ensure they feel valued and supported. Being a team player is important to me, and I'm always ready to go the extra mile. For example, I drove to headquarters to fit shoes and discuss fit and style, then returned just in time to clock in so our team could stay on schedule.

Proactive by nature, I taught myself camera settings and shooting techniques to produce better digitals and self‑tapes for models, and to enhance runway walk videos. Organized and detail-oriented—I keep displays neat, refresh presentations for new collections, and prioritize tasks to maintain smooth service.

I value feedback and enjoy collaborating with others to improve processes and generate new ideas. When challenges arise, I stay calm and focus on solutions—resolving order issues, calming concerned customers, and ensuring they leave reassured and confident.
