Hello! I am a motivated young professional with a passion for people and product. My time in retail gave me experience in driving our business through strong visual merchandising techniques and delivering unforgettable guest experiences. This has translated into my time in fashion merchandising as I have learned to leverage market trends, guest insights, and our sales data to help shape the future of our product assortment.

lululemon Merchandising Job Simulation on Forage - February 2024

• Completed a job simulation where I assisted the lululemon merchandising team in planning for inventory of lululemon's shorts capsule.
• Created a pivot table to display $ and units of lululemon Shorts shipped across the globe and in key regions. Summarized these findings to assist with inventory management and financial planning.
• Created a line sheet for the Spring 2022 shorts capsule at lululemon and summarized the SKU count for all channels.
• Checked sales from the previous day and compared metrics against prior sales and calculated full-price sell-through to assist with real-time decisions to appropriately manage lululemon's inventory.
• Evaluated lululemon's two major competitors’ product-type business strategies by analyzing each brand, ranking their product categories and reviewing the assortment, color stories, marketing, and promotions they offer. I then summarized my findings for my manager.
