B.A., Fashion Merchandising and a Marketing Insights Minor

Class of December 2025 from Virginia Commonwealth University

  • Soft skills of mine include; integrity, teamwork, dedication, empathy, & adaptability.

    Hard skills of mine include; graphic design, Excel, Adobe Suite, writing, & researching.

  • Growing up, I often struggled with fitting in and felt like an outcast in one way or another. As I got older, I began using fashion as a way to connect with those around me, hoping to blend in. This exploration opened the door to the world of fashion, and over time, I discovered something even more powerful—my own personal style. Fashion became not just a tool to fit in but a form of self-expression, allowing me to embrace my individuality rather than conform to external influences. This journey is what led me to pursue a career in the fashion industry, where creativity and personal identity thrive.

  • Empathy, attentiveness, consideration, and respect are core values that I hold close to my heart, shaped by meaningful experiences throughout my life.
