GUCCI

Sales Assistant & VIP Liaison

At only 18 years of age, this was my initiation to retail. It was a fantastic experience that I will always remember nostalgically. I found myself working with colleagues much older than myself, which allowed for a fast and insightful training. Over two of the three months that I spent training at the Rome store I was the bestselling member of staff for number of items sold. The company allowed me an internal transfer to the Sloane Street store in London, where I continued my training, started to develop a personal client’s list. During my time with the company, I have served in all retail departments including Mens, Ladies, Accessories and Home.
