What was it that attracted you to Amoena? For over 35 years Amoena has been improving women’s quality of life after breast surgery and the company’s mission really resonated with me because they stand for something so important. It’s really exciting to be part of an organization whose mission is to be a companion throughout every woman’s life, especially after a breast cancer diagnosis. The mission is meaningful and speaks volumes to me, and I’m also excited about some of the developments the Amoena brand is working on. With your background in apparel, what do you hope to bring to Amoena in the near future? With my background in retail sales and my proven success in elevating and building brands, I’m looking forward to sharing some of my expertise. Amoena is in the midst of continuing to provide fashionable lingerie and swimwear that meet our core customer’s needs, while also developing into a lifestyle brand. It is important to us to stay true to our heritage, but have heard from women all over the world that they want leisure, active and nightwear that meet their needs and still look fashionable. I was at the photo shoot with Fluvia Lacerda for the Amoena PMM cover & editorial and I think the initial thought was that we would be shooting very safe lingerie, but she was so excited about everything she was wearing and watching her reaction really made an impression on me, most importantly because the fit was so perfect. That’s amazing and great to hear! She was wearing pieces from our PLUS-MODEL-MAG.COM / OCT 2013 #PLUSMODELMAG
