From Angie Paskewitiz
Former head of Marketing & Sales at United Apparel
"I had the wonderful opportunity to serve as a leader and a mentor for McKenzie during her time with United Apparel during the 2016-2017 academic year. As an intern on my team for sales and marketing, she stood out to me immediately as a creative, laser-focused, and driven young professional woman. Throughout the year, McKenzie displayed her ability and willingness to go the extra mile to get a job or project done. She frequently brought new ideas to the table, and has consistently helped United Apparel grow into a stronger organization. She would be a wonderful addition to any marketing or sales team that is looking for an “it” factor to help them reach the next level."
From Maxine Grant
Former Store Manager at Joie Madison Avenue
"I had the privilege of working with McKenzie Harvey for almost 1 year. I was the Store Manager of a contemporary fashion brand on Madison Avenue. McKenzie did not have much experience in a boutique setting, but, I hired her as a Sales Associate because she won me over in her interview! McKenzie immediately demonstrated that she is adaptable, possesses a strong work ethic, and was eager to learn and grow. But, her love of fashion was really what drove her to be the best. She came to work each day, ready to be a true brand ambassador; while showcasing her own fun, personal style. She helped our clients become their optimal, stylish selves by determining their needs; and built strong relationships based on trust and consistency. McKenzie dedicated her time to educating herself more about fashion and business, while also exceeding my expectations for her as a Sales Associate. To say it was a pleasure working with McKenzie would be an understatement!"
