Summary

I have an Associate Degree in Fashion Merchandising from Houston, USA. I graduated with the highest honors and later I completed my internship with Banana Republic and Armani Exchange, Houston, USA. During my time working for Armani Exchange, I was given the opportunity to work closely with the Visual Merchandiser. I worked with the window displays and controlling the merchandise.

Previous to my degree, I worked for South African Express Airways as a flight attendant. I was qualified to fly on the Dash 800 and the 50 seater Canadian Regional Jet.

In the last 20 years I have been traveling around the world.

I would now like to resume my career and gain my independence once again.
