Hello! I've worked in PR and Marketing for a number of years now and recently started my freelance Marketing career.
In 2001 I graduated from University of Toronto with Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), International Marketing.
After doing some secretarial and retail work I found myself working for JCPenny as a Project Assistant and then to a managerial role of Online Project Manager.
During that time I had a great opportunity to move to New York City, and work for Michael Kors as a Marketing coordinator. The job at Michael Kors took me all over the world, but I decided it was time to go back home to Toronto for a bit so I started working for Lululemon as a Corporate Communications coordinator. Since I was a big fan of the brand itself I really enjoyed my work.
During this time I was offered a contract position with Michael Kors and I found those roots growing, I knew I couldn't stick to one city or just one company, thus I decided I'd contract my services to brands of my choosing.
It's been great working for myself; I've had the opportunity to work with Nordstrom closely in particular their International department, recently I recently finished a contract with Neiman Marcus and now I’m working on brining and or expending the Australian market with North American lines.
