professional development
FASHION MERCHANDISING
As a student of CMU's top-ranked fashion merchandising and design program. I used cutting-edge technology, studied aesthetic and functional design and marketing and retailing of apparel and textiles. Through a challenging core that integrates design and merchandising in a way that reflects industry trends, I have positioned myself for a career in the design, production and distribution of apparel and textile products.
EVENT MANAGEMENT
Through CMU's Department of Recreation and Leisure Services Administration, I worked hands-on when it came to the planning and execution of various events right on campus; from the student-run fashion show to an empowerment workshop focused on sexual awareness and assault. While being a venue committee member for Threads Fashion Show, I was involved in all aspects of production including: event design, planning, budgeting, fundraising, staging, and promotion.
seeking visual merchandising position
I am a undergraduate working to earn a degree in Fashion Merchandising and Design at Central Michigan University. I am interested in the fashion industry and aspire to obtain a visual merchandising position that will help guide me in the industry. I am currently seeking positions located in Detroit or Grand Rapids, Michigan. As a fashion merchandising student, I believe I could be a valuable team member and exceed all the high standards that your company holds for its interns. I have the ability to identify the latest and current trends, have a strong sense of color and am able to work all departments including: sales, design, production, advertising and public relations.
​
While working in retail, I gained firsthand knowledge of a multitude of brands, marketing strategies, and how to manage people. I presented quick and effective service during fitting, knowledge of inventory, and location of specific clothing. Additionally, I contributed genuine interactions with clients, offered endless and versatile style options, and understood basic operational guidelines, processes and procedures. My personality is my biggest asset. I use it for inspiration in my work, to push myself harder, to create new ideas, and to always keep things unique and interesting.
