What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my extensive experience in creative and technological fields, fostering a collaborative and innovative work environment.

I am a highly motivated professional with over 25 years of experience in the retail and textile sectors. My career has encompassed various responsibilities, including materials merchandising and color development, where I have honed my leadership skills. I have successfully collaborated with diverse teams across eight countries during my tenure with the adidas Group, which has refined my ability to communicate effectively and empathetically in multicultural settings.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong work ethic and keen attention to detail, consistently surpassing expectations. My established history of problem-solving and decision-making has equipped me to tackle challenges head-on. After a career break, I am eager to leverage my extensive skills and experience in the exciting fields of editing, data entry, content writing, and AI image development, where I can explore the creative potential of emerging technologies.
