Kimberly Lin
Summary
A proactive and detail-oriented professional with experience in stock forecasting, sales operations, and supplier coordination. In my current role, I analyse purchase orders and inventory levels to anticipate product demand, ensuring stock availability while minimising risks. I work closely with suppliers to negotiate to price and manage order fulfilment, developing strong commercial awareness and problem-solving skills. Highly proficient in Excel, I handle daily sales reports, margin analysis, and inventory tracking. My ability to multitask and adapt in a fast-paced environment—balancing sales, marketing, and supplier negotiations—has strengthened my communication and time management skills.
Although my background is outside the fashion industry, I am deeply passionate about fashion, trend analysis, and merchandising. I am committed to expanding my industry knowledge and have enrolled in Fashion Marketing and Fashion Buying & Merchandising courses to develop relevant expertise. Eager to apply my analytical mindset and transferable skills, I am ready to contribute to a dynamic merchandising team while continuing to grow within the industry.
