My name is Kathrine Beard, friends and family call me Katie. I am currently attending Cal Poly Pomona and am studying Apparel Merchandising and Management with an emphasis in Retail. I am working on a Minor in Marketing Management. I look forward to becoming a Visual Merchandiser once schooling is completed. I intend to graduate June 2015. I have worked in retail for about 5 years and love every aspect of it! I look forward to what the retail industry will bring!
I have a lot of experience in the retail industry. I learned how to change floor sets through previous employers and fell in love with it completely! I have held manager positions throughout my retail careers. I am well aware of the pressure and the difficulties that come with the business. I currently run my mother's children's clothing boutique where I place orders from venders, change displays, and manage my team to increase the sales of our store.
I completed an internship at Volcom in Costa Mesa as a Retail Buyer intern. Volcom taught me the basics of buying and how to allocate products through their retail stores. From my internship I learned how to edit markdowns, purchase orders, and allocate units to the stores. I really enjoyed my experience at Volcom and feel as if I am ready to take on the retail industry!
In my portfolio you will find projects that I have completed within my buying courses. I really enjoyed these projects and found a great understanding for buyers and their job descriptions. Some projects were completed within a group and others were independent projects.
