About

Hi, my name is Julia. I have over 17 years of experience in apparel sourcing and merchandising. In my previous roles, I managed supplier communication, product development, and end-to-end sourcing processes with a strong focus on quality, deadlines, and cost efficiency for major retailers such as Walmart, Kohls, Sears, and brands like Chicos, WHBM and etc.

I’m known for being detail-oriented, highly organized, and effective at building strong relationships with vendors. I’m excited about this opportunity because I believe my background in global sourcing and my ability to work cross-functionally make me a strong fit for this role.
