What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role in a dynamic company that values teamwork and initiative.

I am a dedicated visual merchandiser and sales associate with a passion for creating engaging retail environments. Currently, I work at H & M, where I lead my team in implementing the company's visual presentation direction. My role involves developing strategies to maintain brand consistency while facilitating training for my colleagues, ensuring we all excel in delivering exceptional customer experiences.

In addition to my work at H & M, I have gained valuable experience as a Camp Cabin Leader at Arlington Beach Camp, where I fostered a safe and positive environment for children. My ability to communicate effectively in both French and English has allowed me to connect with diverse groups, enhancing my leadership skills and promoting a collaborative atmosphere. I am eager to bring my strong service-driven mindset to a dynamic company that values teamwork and initiative.
