After a little over a year at Luxe Interiors + Design, I was recruited by the Vice President of SANDOW to become the Marketing + Events Associate at Interior Design Magazine. Building relationships between client, vendor, and internal team services, I collaborated with the Events Director and Marketing Director to plan and execute a variety of events designed to enhance brand partnerships from international conferences of 300+ guests to intimate, in-office roundtables.
Kicking off my career as the assistant to the Executive VP of Sales, I managed sales accounts and created proposals and contracts for high-level clients. My responsibilities quickly evolved to include the organization of quarterly team meetings for the entirety of the Luxe Interiors + Design brand as well as aid in the logistics and development of brand events.
Special Projects
During my time at Fordham University, I founded and developed the first published lifestyle magazine on campus, MODE. This endeavor required a great deal of time, patience and effort to ensure that the publication was officially recognized on campus.
The first issue of MODE was published in Spring 2013- a smaller scale printed document. The following issues I oversaw were Fall 2013 and Spring 2014, both full size issues and over 30 pages each.
To this day, MODE remains a fully functioning publication, now present on both Rose Hill and Lincoln Center campuses.
Co-produced Fashion For Philanthropy’s annual spring fashion show, hosted at Fordham University Rose Hill Campus, where all proceeds made for the show were donated to the Make A Wish Foundation of Metro New York
Reached out to designers and sponsors willing to donate clothing and talents to the show
