About
Hello! My name is Gianna and I am an online student at Central Michigan University studying Entrepreneurship with a minor in Visual Merchandising. I have gained much experience in customer service and customer relations while working at my family's boutique for 9 years. While working for my family's boutique, I have grown a passion for the fashion industry. While I love retail and working with customers daily, I have a particular interest in wholesale, buying, and merchandising, as well as online marketing and sales. I am a very driven, organized, and open-minded individual. I am expected to graduate from Central Michigan University in the Winter of 2025. Until then, I am open to jobs or internships within the fashion industry that can provide me with more experience. Contact: megnagianna@gmail.com
