After working in the retail industry for two years I decided to study Fashion Buying and Merchandising, I did this while still working part time in retail. The course then led me to an internship working in the buying office in Arnotts for the Summer in 2015. I then began working as a buyer in a plastics distributor where i gained a lot of experience in building relationships with suppliers, budget management, time management, supply chain management and freight control. I really enjoyed my job but wanted a change so decided to study Entrepreneurship and Management. I still wanted to work part time but the role i was in was too demanding so I moved position to being PA to the managing director as I can do a lot of my work outside of college hours.
