What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role that blends fashion merchandising with hands-on marketing. I want to support brand image, increase engagement, and drive sales using analytics, creative content, and strong customer service.

I’m a recent Kent State University Fashion Merchandising graduate with a minor in Marketing, combining creative build skills with an analytical approach to audience growth. I’m seeking a career that matches my creative and analytical skill set, where I can help strengthen brand image and increase engagement.

In garment construction and production support, I constructed runway garments by hand and coordinated errands and supply needs for production managers. I also bring customer-facing experience from high-level service roles, where clear communication and dependable teamwork were essential.

Through hands-on internship work and collaboration with small brand owners, I strengthened marketing and advertising efforts to drive sales. I created social media ads and marketing content, and tracked analytics and engagement to inform what resonates.

I round out my toolkit with merchandising and inventory management, photoshoot and styling logistics, and practical systems experience like POS and Microsoft 365. I’m ready to apply my fashion-focused mindset and marketing instincts to measurable results.
