I’m seeking a career transition into the tech industry where I can apply my entrepreneurial mindset, problem solving skills, and learnings from my past decade of experience working in creative industries with small businesses. I thrive in fast-paced work cultures that value innovation, inclusivity, accountability and ownership. I’d love a role that leverages my collaboration and project management skills and continues to deepen my client-service, communication and analytical skills. I recently graduated from Cal State Chico in May 2024 magna cum laude with a B.S. in Social Sciences. For the past 10 years, I’ve enjoyed working in creative industries with a variety of small businesses. After graduating from the SF Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts, I founded my own jewelry label and brand - Bone White Jewelry. I also spent time as a Product Manager at Rebecca Overman Studio, a local SF jewelry studio specializing in handmade fine engagement. I helped design and managed the luxury customer experience and handled all client communications, partnerships and vendor collaboration and helped craft pieces as a bench jeweler. I then transitioned to helping Milo & Friends, a local Napa pet boutique, launch their e-commerce site and also helped streamline their inventory management system. A fun part of my role was owning the events strategy to deepen relationships with the local community. Currently, I’m working at Free People as a Senior Stylist and Sales Associate where I design and implement our merchandising strategies. I create innovative new styling and refresh visuals for our store’s entire display, floorplan and mannequins based on inspiration from corporate HQ for weekly customer persona updates. I’ve become the top sales rep at my location, by consistently exceeding quota and also the most complimented sales rep, receiving the highest organic number of customer compliment emails each month. I value putting customers first and meeting them where they are. I’ve developed a custom, client-oriented approach, leading with empathy to deeply understand each person’s individual needs and shopping goals. I’m excited to leverage all of the transferable skills in sales, client services, marketing, operations and events and bring them to the tech industry. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my two long-haired dachshunds Bowie and Zuki, scuba diving and riding motorcycles. I also continue to invest in creative pursuits such as jewelry design, metalsmithing, ceramics, crochet and baking.
