Sample Coordinator 

Administration & Clerical

Pursuing a career in the fashion industry has been a lifelong interest of mine. There are people who go through life not knowing what they want to do, whereas my career ambitions have not wavered. It is not difficult for me to maintain high levels of energy and motivation. This is indicative to the enthusiasm and consistency in work ethic that I will demonstrate in the workplace. I have been working hard towards my goal to obtain a job that is akin to apparel buying, e-commerce, wholesale, event planning, public relations, content creation, branding, social media, and/or marketing.

- A sample coordinator is the first point of contact when retrieving samples, which means that it is highly important that each item is checked-in accurately and moved through the pipeline swiftly so that items are posted on the website for e-commerce sales. 
- Oversaw samples for the online team and helped ensure that all items moved smoothly through the photography pipeline. 
- Other tasks included communicating with the distribution centers to reorder samples, organizing samples in sample closets, onboarding new hires, assist with photography reports, and working with cross functional teams to source samples.

- Provided customers with "WOW" customer service via phone and email.
- Resolved issues with the company values in mind while coming up with creative solutions on the fly in order to satisfy the customer's needs.
- Navigated through multiple systems and data bases that explored the back end of Kendra Scott's inventory, e-commerce, and retail operations.
