Why I chose my major

Having possessed a lifelong love for fashion and clothing, I chose fashion merchandising as my major. My strategic and analytical skills drew me to the business side of fashion which made the brand management emphasis a perfect fit for my career ambitions. All of my different classes have solidified my interest in fashion and make me excited to join the industry.

What I like most about FACS

FACS has played an integral role in my college experience. The passion my professors exude for their fields of study is truly infectious and always made me eager to learn. They encourage collaboration and building relationships with our peers to form a close-knit community that uplifts and supports each other. Our professors are also extremely empathetic and accommodative to the needs of every student, working closely with us to ensure our success. My advisors and other FACS staff helped me to navigate my major and course load every semester for which I am extremely grateful. The FACS department has created an environment that feels more like a family than a college.

Post-graduation plans

I plan on working at an advertising agency!
