Quality Control Technician

Hello! If you've landed here, it's because you're curious about who I am and what I'm all about. Well, let me tell you: I'm a sustainability-minded business developer with over a decade of experience in the fashion industry.

Throughout my career, I've been passionate about connecting brands with ethical partners and creating sustainable supply chains. My focus on eco-friendly and socially responsible practices is at the forefront of everything I do, and I'm constantly exploring new ways to make a positive impact on the industry.

I've had the privilege of working with leading fashion brands to produce high-quality knits made with sustainable materials and production methods. As a result, I've gained a deep understanding of the fashion supply chain and how we can work together to create a more sustainable future.

Aside from my work in the industry, I'm fascinated by the potential of emerging technologies like blockchain and AI to drive positive change. I believe that digital innovation is key to creating a more sustainable world, and I'm excited to be a part of that movement.

So, whether you're interested in discussing sustainable fashion, ethical business practices, or the latest tech trends, let's connect and chat. I look forward to hearing from you!
