"With seven years experience as a fashion merchandising/design teacher, having taught more than 3700 students, I utilize my work experience, skills and education to teach technical courses such as Pattern Making, Clothing Construction and Textiles and Fabrications, and product development courses such as Fashion Merchandising, and Introduction to Manufacturing through brand and product development which always contain spreadsheets and can contain Illustrator flats and Photoshop files contained into a final Power Point Presentation, Presentation Boards, Business Analysis Spreadsheets and Business Plans. I also utilize Ecompanion, an online student interface site, in all of my courses to administer quizzes, reading material, assignments, access to syllabi and announcements.

I have over fifteen years in the fashion industry with diversified experience and I own a small consulting firm. My company is responsible for establishing fit and production protocol for various manufacturers and contractors. I issue product specifications, grading and cutting tickets for production.

As an instructor on a college campus in the garment center of Manhattan, I have taught over a thousand students how to create and utilize spreed sheets, Illustrator & Photoshop files, into comprehensive power point presentations as well Indesign final printable deliverables.

I also help students create unique logos, fonts, garment flats, showroom layouts, and any other design elements needed for complete presentations.

As a recent graduate earning my MFA in Fashion Merchandising, I am familiar with the hard work required for meeting industry goals. Because I have been teaching computer skills for quite some time, I have developed an easy and complete method of passing my skills onto others. And because each student has their own path of creativity that they are following, I find myself always enjoying each lesson." less...
