Business and Technology of Fashion Student at the New York City College of Technology
I am a fashion student at the New York City College of Technology entering my junior year. My enthusiasm for social media and its impact on fashion led me to freelance as a Social Media Assistant, where I curated compelling content across platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and emerging channels. Leveraging my expertise in scheduling strategic content, I significantly boosted client engagement and account growth. I thrive in retail environments, having honed my skills as a Sales Associate at Shop Repurpose and TJ Maxx. At Shop Repurpose, I fostered robust customer relationships both in-store and online, ensuring an exceptional shopping experience and a well-maintained sales floor. Similarly, at TJ Maxx, I effectively managed stockroom organization, maintaining a seamless inventory flow and engaging customers with personalized service. I have also completed certifications in programs like INSIDE LVMH and the MHFA X PVH Mentorship Program, augmenting my skills in digital marketing and retail management. I am driven by a love for fashion and a desire to combine retail experience with innovative social media strategies to carve my niche in the industry. Eager for new opportunities and collaborations that allow me to blend creativity with retail insights and social media to make a lasting impact.
