At R.K. Tongue, Inc. Co., I assist with projects by preparing documents and resources for executives and clients. I also support the marketing team with graphics and presentation materials for social media.

At Holland & Sherry Interiors, I coordinated customer and internal requests across accounts, keeping track of priorities, deadlines, and follow-up. I also worked with sales representatives, vendors, and internal departments to support accurate order processing.

As a Contract Apparel Designer at SHEIN X, I developed apparel collections with original graphics, colorways, and technical sketches. I created technical packs, communicated design updates to overseas vendors, and assisted with sample reviews and revisions.

My experience also includes retail merchandising, sales, and design internships. I earned a B.S. in Fashion Merchandising & Design from Morgan State University.
