The past couple of summers I have had the pleasure of working for one of the most talented women I know, Amber Woolworth. She is wonderfully talented and very passionate about what she does. Amber has helped me develop my sense and knowledge of the fashion industry while maintaining my interest in it.
Amber Woolworth graduated with a degree in Fashion Merchandising. She has worked solely in the fashion industry since she graduated college in 2005. Amber started off in sales for a contemporary showroom representing small independent designers. Over the years she has worked her way up to becoming a sales manager of growing contemporary brands. She has traveled across the country as well as Paris to participate in trade shows. Amber loves the ever-changing world of fashion and looks forward to the future of her career.
