More Information
I have significant experience in fashion working as an Assistant Manager, then as the Assistant Buyer for GAVIN Boutique as I accompanied the head buyer on trips to New York. In addition to my interest in fashion, I recently began pursuing my passion of music by following up-and-coming musical talent and attending live shows as often as possible.
