I take pride in leading team projects, even on a large scale when preparing teams and leading annual presentations to an audience of several hundred attendees. I’ve been able to nurture successful relationships by building trust through partnership and transparency with internal teams as well as external vendors where I negotiate on terms that are best for my businessPrior to July 2018, I worked at Coach, Inc. as the Buyer in the Women\'s Leather Goods division, overseeing the assortment of product, investments/OTB and in-store animation for North America.
