Relocating from New York to California in June 2020 amidst the pandemic presented both challenges and opportunities. Despite facing the closing of my consulting agency,Glass&Fork LLC, due to pandemic-induced project limitations, I embraced the chance to explore new horizons. Joining BagKing and BrandKing as a Purchasing Manager in September 2020, I swiftly progressed to the C-level position in recognition of my achievements. Passionate, creative, and possessing a strong work ethic, I thrive in dynamic, fast-paced environments.
