I am a final year BA (Hons) Fashion Management student at Nottingham Trent University, with a strong focus on buying and product. Throughout my studies, I have developed a broad understanding of the fashion industry, specialising in Buying, Merchandising and Product Management, and Global Sourcing. Alongside my degree, I completed a year-long placement at ME+EM as a Footwear & Accessories Buying Admin Assistant Intern. This provided hands-on experience managing the critical path, working closely with suppliers, and supporting product development from concept through to production, strengthening both my commercial awareness and attention to quality. I have also gained experience in trend forecasting and product curation, combining analytical and creative skills. My final year business plan explores a circular luxury handbag platform, reflecting my interest in innovation and consumer behaviour. Beyond graduating, I aim to set up my own business using the skills gained from my degree.
