I will be graduating on May 9th, 2020  from Kent State University. I will have completed my Bachelor of Science in Fashion Merchandise with a minor in Fashion Media from the nationally acclaimed Fashion School here at Kent. In the spring of 2019, I completed a full a semester studying abroad in Florence, Italy studying Italian Fashion and Culture and Product Development. I then completed a summer internship as an Exective Buying Intern at Dillard's Corporate Office in Little Rock, Arkansas. There I got to apply what I have learned but also be able to attain relations from cross-functional teams while also building my growth and knowledge of the Fashion Industry.

My love of fashion and all things creative started when i was very young. Since I was little, I was always interested in the arts, specifically pencil drawings. From there, it grew into wanting to draw clothes and complete DIY projects. When I realized being in front of the sewing machine wasn't where I wanted to be full time, I looked into the behind scenes action of the industry my sophomore year of high school. My dad was super hesitant when I wanted to find a college where a fashion program was prominent, however he soon realized that retail and fashion is just more than clothes in a store or on T.V. I am currently making my dreams come true one step at a time and I cannot wait to see where this industry takes me.
