I was an Assistant Technical Designer at Under Armour.  While working at Under Armour I gained the basic understanding of the product creation process. Starting from designs concept to creating and revising tech packs before releasing initial tech packs to vendors. I also tracked and facilitated proto samples throughout the Presentation, Salesman Sample, Pre-Production and Top of Production calendar stages for various styles, all the while identifying key construction issues and relaying fit and design updates back to the vendors through fit comments. 

Prior to my work experience at Under Armour I completed a coop experience at Safe Reflections as a Textile Technologist Intern. This experience provided me insight on the trims development process from a supplier’s business point of view. I executed multiple technical service requests for multiple sports apparel companies. My hard work and diligence was recognized by the company with the Employee of the Month award.  

Throughout college I played NCAA Division 3 Women’s Volleyball.  This experience allows me to bring a sportsman like spirit to any work environment. Along with my student athlete responsibilities I submerged myself into various extracurricular activities from coaching volleyball, to participating in my apparel programs fashion show organization. These experiences taught me the importance of completing tasks efficiently, problem solving and time management.
