As a Location Planning Intern I assisted in all roles taken on as an entry level planner. Daily tasks included in-season trending, sending weekly sales reports, and communicating with upper management. Over the ten week program I completed an extensive Intern Project which was presented to Directors of my department.

Worked with the fabric team and senior leadership of design and merchandising in the development of woven and knit fabrics that are innovative, directional, and meet the need of the business and client. Was responsible for all aspects of the fabric development process including market research, presentation of raw materials in swatch and garment forms, and communicating with the vendors.

At Elements of Style I worked at the front desk with scheduling and communicating with customers. I used STX booking software to schedule clients as well as input client information. I also kept inventory of all the stlying products and did re-orders weekly to keep inventory consistent.

At the IDS I communicate with clients with advertising needs in print and online, by continuously maintaining relationships with clients as well as prospecting new opportunities. I consistently meet with clients and offer advertising options for their business.

Assisted on the sales floor, communicated with customers, and developed efficient means of recovery during the holiday season.

While at Aero I was a Sales Associate as well as a Visuals Specialist. I assisted on all of the floor sets and with merchandise flow in the store. In addition I worked on visuals like marketing and dressing mannequins for store displays. On the sales floor I assisted customers by offering solutions and options.
