About

Penultimate year LLB Law student and Luxury sales advisor, with an interest in procuring roles in fashion law. I have attained extensive experience at renowned retailers like Harrods, Selfridges, and Fenwick' as well as Boutiques on old bond street. This has enabled me to hone my skills in delivering exceptional customer service and exceeding sales targets across high-end fashion and beauty sectors, including roles at Shoe Heaven (Harrods) and as a Beauty Sales Advisor for brands like Dior and Tom Ford (Fenwicks). I can adapt to a fast-paced environment and am dedicated to providing a personalised luxury shopping experience for customers.
