Summary

Passionate about the fashion industry from an early age, I have developed a deep understanding of the sector through both academic studies and hands-on experience. Growing up in a family involved in textile manufacturing, I have always been drawn to the intricacies of product development, sourcing, and market trends. My time studying Fashion Business and Management at the University of Westminster has allowed me to refine my knowledge of buying, merchandising, and retail operations, giving me the confidence to pursue a career in the field.

Attending buying meetings with major UK brands such as Matalan, Primark, and Dunnes has strengthened my ability to analyze market trends, negotiate with suppliers, and understand consumer demands. Additionally, my coursework has provided me with hands-on experience in textile development, range planning, and supply chain management.

I thrive in fast-paced environments that require a mix of creativity, analytical thinking, and commercial awareness. My ability to adapt, collaborate, and approach challenges with an innovative mindset makes me confident in my capacity to contribute effectively to the industry. With a strong commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing, I aim to be part of the movement shaping the future of responsible fashion business.
