WHO I AM

A Johnson & Wales University graduate, currently pursuing my passions as an E-Commerce Merchandising Associate with the iconic, Alex and Ani.
​I like to define myself as an artist of my craft, (slight) shopaholic, coffee connoisseur, and person with a true love for all things fashion.
My entire persona is built around my creative passions and the drive I have to pursue them. I believe that in both work & life, you must be open to constant change, growth and obstacles.
I am well-versed in visual merchandising & aesthetics for both soft/hard line B2B + DTC E-Commerce and Brick-and-Mortar businesses. I operate with a results-driven approach that is supported through my work experience.
In my current role, I work cross-functionally and internally to analyze & implement merchandising strategies on the Alex and Ani website. As their E-Com. Merchandising Assoc., I optimize the customer experience through the taxonomy and merchandise-mix perceived on-site; the strategies I implement are both data-driven (KPIs) and intuitive (trends + seasonality).
​
I work with the programs Shopify, Searchspring, Excel, Powerpoint, Google Analytics, third-party order management systems (OMS), Brandfolder, Hotjar, Yotpo and Microsoft Outlook, daily. I possess an adept mind for learning quickly and assimilating information at a fast-pace. I also operate through a lens of positivity and passion which becomes infectious in a team environment.
​
My end-all goal is to become a multi-faceted expert in the fashion merchandising realm with my ever-evolving, unparalleled drive – and to someday, start a clothing line of my own.
"Real change is hard. It takes guts, drive and grit. Resistance will always try to make sure you fail... so how hungry are you? What's fascinating is the struggle - it's what defines a man."
