Retail professional looking for an opportunity to utilize my extensive merchandising experience as well as my ability to manage projects large and small to successful completion. In addition to my time spent in the iconic flag ship A&S/ Macys store in downtown Brooklyn as a Department Manager and in the Buying division of Saks Fifth Avenue, I spent over 15 years managing personnel, events, and fundraising in the non-profit world while raising my family. I am most proud of the three playground renovation projects I saw to completion as these have a direct, positive impact on the children in my community. I have spent the last several years working part-time in the retail industry managing visual installations for new product rollouts, completing floor resets and analysis on a weekly basis for ongoing projects and working to build positive. productive relationships in all the stores I work in
