GARMENT TECHNOLOGIST INTERN
O'Neill Europe BV- The Netherlands
August 2020- June 2021
My year spent as a Garment Technologist Intern for O'Neill Europe involved working in both the women's and girl's departments, across all categories including swimwear, snow, lifestyle and activewear.
This was an amazing experience resulting in a deep understanding of fit and construction over a wide range of products. My love for fashion product stemmed from this experience.
As well as having an amazing industry experience, the opportunity to live in the Netherlands for a year allowed me to immerse myself in the culture of another country.
"Annie always put 100% into everything asked out of her, with the confidence to cover the role full time, conducting fittings and making decisions whilst I was away. Along with being able to express her opinion and show her knowledge in important meetings. Annie was a credit to herself and a valued member of our team."
