2017 gti

I graduated at California State University of Long Beach with a Bachelors in Fashion Merchandising. I finished 2 terms (a year) interning for Billabong Men's Product Development Team. I continued my experience in PD by working at Speedo as an Administrative Admin for the PD team, increasing my PLM skills by transferring all data from Enovia to Centric. Afterwards, I worked for Billabong as a Product Developer for Knits, Fleece, and UV/Surfshirts for 4 months to cover for my old supervisor's maternity leave.

I am currently seeking a position in Product Development, but is open to Assistant PD, Assistant Design, or a job exposed to the Development, Production, Design, or Tech fields.
