Fashion
From working in retail sales, to merchandising and buying for major department stores and brands, my background in retail and fashion spans over 10 years of experience.
Consulting
H Bar C Ranchwear
I have been working as a freelance consultant for famed western wear brand H Bar C Ranchwear consulting on everything from brand partnerships, to retail brick and mortar, to celebrity collaborations and events.
Buying
Neiman Marcus - CUSP Contemporary Designer
When I started as a manager in Contemporary Designer at Neiman Marcus, Michigan Avenue, I felt our buy and curation for the store and customer was off-base. The department wasn’t performing well, and not because we didn’t carry great designers, but because we didn’t carry great designer for our customer. I worked very closely with not only my sales team, but also with our customers listening to what they want, seeing how they dress, and assessing their needs.
Addressing these needs to my corporate buyers in Dallas, they agreed to let me personally select the curated buy for Michigan avenue each season I was a manager.
As a result, my department became the #1 CUSP department in the company the following season after my first assisted buy for the store.
Bloomingdale’s - Women’s Intimates & Lingerie
As the omni senior assistant buyer, I worked closely with vendors to facilitate women’s intimates and lingerie seasonal buys for A, B, and C, level stores as well as Bloomingdale’s online.
Ralph Lauren - Women’s Runway Collection
As the merchandise coordinator, I worked directly with the buyer to buy Ralph Lauren Women’s Runway Collection for the Ralph Lauren Upper Eastside flagship store, US boutique locations, and for Ralph Lauren online.
Merchandising

While my time as a manager for Neiman Marcus Michigan Avenue, I set floor plans and visual standards for the CUSP contemporary department. Working in conjunction with the store’s visual team, we kept floor sets fresh and stylized the showcase the season’s latest trends and designers in-line with Neiman Marcus’ merchandising standards and aesthetic.
