I'm from Fort Worth, Texas. Where I spent my formative years. My early introduction to the world of fashion was under the guidance of my grandmother, who imparted the skill of hand sewing and garment construction. This early exposure ignited a lasting fascination with the fashion industry, and I harbored a strong ambition to one day establish my venture in designing and reconstructing garments.
MY ACHIEVEMENTS
I completed my high school education a year early and at the age of 16, embarked on my academic journey at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, pursuing their Manufacturing Design and Merchandise program, which had been a long-standing dream. In 2022, I proudly graduated with dual Associate of Arts degrees, providing me with a well-rounded perspective encompassing both business marketing and design facets within the fashion industry. This educational experience allowed me to carefully contemplate my desired career.
MY CURRENT POSITION
Presently, I embark on the role of Business Manager at Dillard's, specializing in women’s apparel responsible for driving sales growth through strategic forecasting, merchandising, and team development. I analyze daily metrics and last year’s sales data to optimize performance, ensuring effective floor layouts and product placement to maximize customer engagement. Dedicated to empowering sales associates with the tools, training, and real-time coaching needed to enhance performance and deliver exceptional customer experiences. Passionate about leadership, operational excellence, and fostering a high-performance retail environment.
