Message

At Sierra/TJX, I managed calendars, events, travel, expenses, presentations, newsletters, reports, and onboarding for six divisional VPs.

I coordinated logistics for company events, including transportation, hotels, conference rooms, catering, and team activities. I also prepared event proposals, schedules, budgets, and catering contracts.

As a Merchandise Assistant, I supported sourcing and buying activities, followed up with vendors, and worked with global partners on buying and production schedules.

Earlier, I handled store operations at The Vin Bin and supervised retail operations with Sodexo/Bentley University/ Lasell College, including employee scheduling, ordering, and customer service.
