Nature

Best way to describe me is that I prepare extensively, work hard, and take pride in the results. I've never reached professional goals alone, collaboration and teamwork are essential. 

I have 10+ years experience in the apparel industry with a heavy background in all technical aspects of garment manufacturing processes, knits and wovens. Well established with a proven track record managing preproduction and production overseeing deliveries with multiple lines, domestic and import, small cut quantities for contemporary boutique labels as well as large volume private label bulk orders for the largest retailers in the country. 

I am most passionate and inspired by nature and my kids!
