Jennifer Tonumalepea's Resume

Where should I begin?

My intention is to use the education & experience that were gained through attending the Art Institute of Vancouver and through working freelance in fashion jobs on the side to gain experience for when I graduate from the Art Institute. Diligent, analytical, responsible and determined are the most accurate words to describe myself and work ethic. It has been a life long goal to be in the fashion industry and I have no other plans of being anywhere else.

I moved to Vancouver almost a year ago from Seattle, Washington. Thankfully I did just that because the fashion scene here in Vancouver is much more delightful than the one, or shall I say LACK OF ONE that is there in Seattle.

I am excited to see what Vancovuer has to offer me, or what I have to offer Vancouver.

This blog is inteded for the use to promote myself career & experience wise within the fashion industry.

My main focus is the land a job as;

Fashion PR Specialist - Specializing to build & maintain a positive image public image.

Fashion Buyer - Buying, planning, forecasting and most of all making fabulous decisions for fashion consumers.

Personal Stylist - Analyzing a clients wardrobe to see what needs to be kept & tossed, creating an image according to their lifestyle that they will love.

Of course I would never limit myself to one job, or limit myself. I am always going to take any opportunity that comes my way.
