Summary

Hello,

My name is Luzed Diaz-Perez and I am searching for Product Development Coordinator opportunities in the apparel industry.

I have over 8 years of experience in women's apparel categories including ready to wear, intimates, activewear, and athleisure, but I am open and welcome the challenge of new categories.

As a Product Development (PD) Coordinator, I am highly organized and rely heavily on early planning to meet T&A calendar goals. I pay close attention to detail, as most of the time I am working on several lines or products simultaneously. It is my job to have clear and precise product information at all times.

I have great communication skills, which is key for effectively communicating with all Teams as well as suppliers, vendors, and factories to deliver within our time schedule.

Please take a look at my resume attached; I hope you would keep it in mind if any positions would become available.

Thank you for your time and consideration,

Luzed Diaz-Perez
