Summary
I am currently looking for a job in the fashion retail sector. I am in the process of applying to Palm Beach State College to study Graphic design in the fall. I want to familiarize myself more with the fashion industry in all aspects including business and sales. My goal is to one day start a fashion company of my own and I would like to learn more and have hands on experience. I have worked a few different jobs in the past as you will see in my resume. Although none of those jobs are exactly retail jobs I have many qualities and skills that I believe can be applied to the retail environment.
