Areas of Expertise

Creative thinking Goals an setting strategy to achieve goals Team building and cross functional partnerships Retail Math Broad spectrum of experience
Received M.B.A. from The University of Michigan; major in Marketing and minor in General Management.  Graduated from Brandeis University with a B.A. in Biology.

Began my career on the Retail Training program at Bloomingdale's which afforded me an understanding of marketing, advertising, inventory control, and accounting in addition to a wealth of information and experience in the retail field.  Eventually, I transitioned into wholesale in Accessories at Wathne Ltd, the licensee for Ralph Lauren handbags at the tine.  Most recently I joined Michael Kors in 2008 and experienced the strategic growth and positioning of the brand as a dominant player in the market.  I rose from director of sales in Special Markets for accessories to VP of sales for Special Markets Accessories.  This experience has further taught me to review, and challenge if necessary, the strategy to ensure the annual goal is met.  

Most important, working hard yet making it fun and rewarding.
Currently, I volunteer at the Central Park Conservancy.
