Background

About Maxx Nelson

I am graduating from Marist College with a major in fashion merchandising, focusing on promotion. I have a deep passion for fashion. I’ve always loved expressing myself through the clothes that I wear. I am seeking to be an assistant sales representative in a showroom. My best skills are being organized, hard-working, and enjoying working with others on different tasks. At Marist, I have learned many different aspects of the fashion industry. In my Trend Forecasting class, I made color projections for the upcoming season and predicted trends that would be featured in designers’ upcoming lines. This has helped me develop insights for future market weeks and to further understand the buying process. Retailing Principles and Practices taught me about the buying cycle, strategic decision-making, and how to reach target markets. I am eager to apply my academic knowledge and internship experiences to a professional setting at Findings. I grew up in Los Angeles and have been around fashion, my whole life, but now I want to make my mark in the industry.
