The Men's Apparel Specialist takes the lead in collaboration with HQ on replenishment of goods, consolidations, re-orders of men’s product. Additionally, communicating visual concepts, merchandising, mapping, allocations, and leading positive inventory results/sales results. I also played an integral role in store management: Operations, daily tasks and goals, schedules, analytical roll in stock to sales, and executing merchandising adjustments.

Inheriting the Fashion Island location in Newport Beach, Ca I was able to properly train/hire associates to achieve a positive increase in business in three short months, and maintain its successes. I managed schedules, hiring, and payroll to increase profitability for the store, while instilling standards, product knowledge, and visual merchandising how-to’s. In addition, I developed a team in all visual branding, shipment efficiency, merchandising, and floorsets via corporate standards, and collaborated with HQ to maximize the store’s successes. I worked hand-in-hand with action-sports vendors to deliver promising results and expectations. My time was ultimately cut short when the Fashion Island store was closed for larger reasons beyond my control. I relocated and developed the Irvine Spectrum store before leaving the company. In my short but impactful time here, I received many accolades and grew the business in record time; setting many high benchmarks and developing staff.
