Knowledgeable and dedicated fashion professional fluent in English, Spanish, and French, with extensive background in client retention, brand coordination, and personal styling. Solid team player with outgoing, positive demeanor and proven skills in establishing rapport with clients. I am articulate, energetic and results-oriented with exemplary passion for developing relationships, cultivating partnerships.

Having studied Fashion Design at Centro Diseño de Modas Guadalajara and Art History at La Sorbonne, I have cultivated a unique blend of artistic insight and practical expertise. Throughout my career, I have consistently worked directly with clients, ensuring their needs are met and their experiences are exceptional. I am eager and motivated to maintain customer satisfaction and contribute to SSENSE's success.

From an early age, I have been deeply fascinated by the world of fashion and the transformative power it holds. This passion led me to pursue studies in Fashion Design at Centro Diseño de Modas Guadalajara and Art History at La Sorbonne. My career in fashion has been incredibly fulfilling, allowing me to work as a personal stylist, brand stylist, assistant store manager, assistant patterning designer, brand coordinator, and set coordinator. Each role honed my skills in client retention, brand management, and customer satisfaction, ultimately shaping me into a well-rounded fashion professional fluent in English, Spanish, and French. However, as I advanced in my career, I began to explore the deeper connections between physical appearance and inner well-being. This curiosity guided me to the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, where I discovered holistic practices that promote balance and health.

I trained as a Traditional Ayurvedic practitioner, meditation teacher, and yoga instructor, delving into the principles of natural healing and mindful living. This journey has been transformative, allowing me to help others achieve harmony in their lives through personalized Ayurvedic consultations, meditation guidance, and yoga instruction.

While my work in Ayurveda has been incredibly rewarding, I have always felt a strong connection to the world of fashion. The creativity, innovation, and dynamic nature of the fashion industry continue to inspire me. I believe that fashion is not just about clothing; it is a powerful form of self-expression and confidence that complements the holistic well-being I promote through Ayurveda.

Returning to the fashion and art industries, particularly with a prestigious retailer like SSENSE, excites me because it allows me to merge my dual passions. I am eager to bring my extensive experience in client retention and brand coordination to SSENSE, enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty. My unique perspective, enriched by my Ayurvedic practice, enables me to understand clients' needs deeply and offer a holistic approach to their fashion experience.

In summary, my journey in fashion and Ayurveda reflects a commitment to helping people look and feel their best. By integrating these two fields, I aim to provide a comprehensive and enriching experience for clients, blending the artistry of fashion with the wisdom of holistic well-being. Joining SSENSE represents an exciting opportunity to contribute to a leading fashion retailer while continuing to share the benefits of mindful living through my Ayurvedic practice.
