What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue applying inventory planning, allocation, replenishment, and data analysis to improve store performance, stock productivity, and retail execution.

At Catalyst Brands, I support merchandise planning, allocation, and replenishment across a large U.S. retail store network. I use store performance, product velocity, and regional inventory trends to improve stock flow and inventory productivity.

I led Top 5/Bottom 10 store analysis that improved sell-through by approximately 3–5% in select locations, completed Refresh Door analysis, and supported inventory rebalancing during Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and holiday periods. I also led the Atlanta Holdback project for Womenswear and was recognized with both a Q4 Quarterly Award and SPOT award.

Previously, at Laguna Clothing, I managed sampling and bulk processing for 500,000+ shirts for Dillard’s and Brooks Brothers, reducing production costs by 10%+ through costing and commercial negotiations. My background also includes product development, sourcing, apparel manufacturing, and operational improvement projects.
