Quality Assurance Evaluator (Fashion)

Quality & Safety

I am a creative and out of the box thinker. These characteristics make it easy for me to be a versatile and multitalented product expert.  I work with multiple product categories including apparel, accessories, footwear, skincare and cosmetics. Growing into new product categories has made me more flexible in problem solving and a significant resource for product information.  I have six years of experience in apparel manufacturing, a design award for Senior Designer of my graduating class and some professional design experience. I’m interested in moving towards a more creative career path.
