My background in business and fashion provided me with a unique blend of industry expertise, strategic thinking, and global market insight, which positioned me to represent the U.S. Department of Commerce in Madrid, Spain, and Medellin, Colombia during international fashion weeks. My experience with international trade, consumer trends, and brand development allowed me to bridge the gap between U.S. businesses and the European and South American markets, fostering economic partnerships and promoting American industries abroad. This experience enabled me to navigate complex trade regulations, build strong relationships with key stakeholders, and contribute to initiatives that strengthened international commercial ties.
