Summary
I recently graduated from the American University of Paris where I obtained my bachelors in Art History, Criticism and Conservation. I have a passion for contemporary art and fashion, and I have gained valuable experience as a gallery intern and a retail manager in the art and fashion industry.
As a retail manager at matta ny, I oversaw the daily operations of a boutique fashion brand, managing inventory, customer service, and merchandising. I also contributed to the curatorial projects of the brand, selecting and displaying artworks and accessories that complemented the clothing and the store's aesthetic. Through these experiences, I have developed a keen eye for detail, a creative flair, and a customer-oriented mindset. I am eager to join a team that values innovation, diversity, and excellence in the art and culture sector, and I believe I can bring a fresh and global perspective to the table. As a gallery intern, I assisted with the organization and promotion of exhibitions, events, and online sales, using my skills in SEO, social media, and web design. I also helped with the research and documentation of artworks and artists, and learned from the curatorial and sales team.
