Why I chose my major

Fashion was always the passion I wanted to pursue as a career, and FACS gave me that opportunity! Creativity has always been a priority for me, so getting to not only pursue creative endeavors but also learn about different ways to be creative through fashion has always been something I wanted to follow.

What I like most about FACS

What I love most about FACS is the people; everyone in FACS is willing to help, and through the openness of the college, I have gotten to learn and experience things outside of the fashion merchandising major. FACS has made me feel like I have a voice and can do anything I put my mind to.

Post-graduation plans

I am applying for fashion jobs to further my experience in the fashion industry.
