CARVING OUT SPACE
As a Louisiana native, moving to the West Coast in 2013 was a challenge. After graduating in 2014, I prioritized making new connections by volunteering with Seattle Fashion Week for two years as the Lead Graphic Designer and then as the Marketing Director.
HONING MY SKILLS
Then from 2017 to 2019, I volunteered as the Communications Chair for The Fashion Group International - Seattle Region. This position allowed me to create and manage content for their blog, email campaigns, and social media accounts along with supporting industry creatives through various events and programs.
Over those two years, I coordinated and marketed about 30 events, including a weekend-long pop-up shop in the Pacific Place Shopping Center in downtown Seattle.
WHAT’S NEXT?
As the Marketing Specialist for Broderick Group, I’m very intentional about the work that I produce and take the initiative to develop projects that will assist the team in meeting their business goals.
I’m hoping that these skills will translate to a career in the fashion/beauty industry as I’m planning to move to the East Coast in early Spring 2025.
