At Old Pueblo Denim, I manage end-to-end Open-to-Buy planning and purchasing across 17 independent premium brands, with category P&L accountability. I also built custom Google Sheets inventory models to track style velocity, stock-to-sales ratios, and aging stock.

I use Square Analytics and POS customer data to assess product margins, plan in-season markdowns, and develop VIP profiling initiatives. Previously, I led store operations at Levi Strauss & Co. and managed back-of-house operations at Victoria's Secret.
