Personal Statement
I have a degree in Fashion Design from IED; where I earned myself a mention of honor
for my thesis project. I am fluent in Spanish and English and can hold my own in French.
I was a part of opening the Abercrombie&Fitch Madrid flagship, and managed over 700
associates in the London flagships. While I really enjoyed management (especially in
stores as big and exciting as A&F and Hollister/Gilly Hicks in Regent street) I need to be
involved in a more creative endeavor, where I can motivate and generate business while
creating a fun hard working environment.
I have a diverse, international background; Due to my fathers job as a creative director in
advertising, I have lived in 7 countries on 4 continents so far. This had made me dynamic,
great with people, and adapting to all kinds of situations. I thrive on new cultures and
experience.
I love being exposed to new ideas and new people, and fast paced environments. I’m
constantly creating things and I’m particularly good in creative groups. My ideal job
would be one that involves a creative challenge, people management and lots of group
work.
