Business Manager Experience, Stylist, P.R.

Marina Healy

PROFILE:

I am extremely passionate about all things fashion. I am a very driven 24

year old woman with a fun but very hard working attitude. I currently run a

boutique with my Mother/business partner Bernie, called Daisy in Galway

City, Ireland. We recently closed the store and are moving all business

online, website launching in Jan 2013. This has taught me a lot about the

trade, buying and management aspect of the fashion industry. I do all of

the buying for the store, visual merchandising and co manage it with

Bernie. We also employ another staff member who I manage. The business is

nearly two years in the running and we set up shop in the middle of one of

the biggest recessions Ireland has ever seen. Now that I have the business

up and running and can leave it to Bernie to fully manage, while keeping my

investment safe. I want to "spread my wings" and be in the depths of the

fashion world. My dream is to learn the trade and work in the heart of it

all. I have a huge interest in pr, styling and blogging. This is where my

fashion heart lies. I have the beginnings of my own blog which is

Fashionlandbymars.blogspot.ie. To achieve my goals I am willing to move

away from my own business and work as hard as I can. I want a challenge, a

learning experience and to make a significant contribution to a company

that can offer me the opportunity to do so.
