Why I chose my major

Growing up I was always drawn to clothing and accessorizing, and I spent most of my time drawing and painting. Being taught sewing skills at a very young age drew me to design and I always knew I wanted to be a fashion designer.

What I like most about FACS

I love all the opportunities that are available to fashion students and all the resources, such as the sewing studio and the amazing professors, as well as all the clubs that allow us to continue to express our creativity and push ourselves. 

Post-graduation plans

I am doing a summer Fashion Design internship at Syd Nichole in Savannah, as I continue my job search for a corporate design job in the San Francisco Bay area.
