    PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

    Apparel Designer with years of professional training and work experience in multiple areas of the Apparel/Fashion Industry. I've worked various fashion jobs for the past six years; ranging from model dressing at trade shows to having an original design produced and sold online and in boutiques.

    I am hard-working, organized, and dedicated; skills consistently in my track record. Having graduated from elementary school as salutatorian, high school in the top 10 of my class, and college with honors provides proof to my high level of motivation and commitment. My excitement and long-term interest in apparel design also gives me an advantage in my level of motivation when designing.
