2. About Me!
• I am a fashion merchandising
major from Stephen F. Austin
State University with a minor
in Geology. I have always
had a true passion for
fashion. I absolutely love
things that shine. The more
glitter the better. From an
early age, I have always been
told that I have a very
creative imagination. The
fashion program at SFA has
truly inspired me and I can
not wait to make my mark in
this world.

3. Personal Philosophy
• When you hear the word fashion, what comes to mind? Is
it clothes, jewelry, shoes? Or maybe you think of Jimmy
Choo, Michael Kors, or Oscar de la Renta? For me it’s so
much more. I think of every aspect that goes into fashion
behind the senses. The creative minds that develop new
designs, the entrepreneurs who go after their dreams, the
stylists who create astonishing new looks, and all the
other inspiring individuals who make the fashion world
go round. I believe to be great at anything you do, you
have to put your heart and soul into it. Any field in
fashion is very high paced, and you have to learn to
multitask as well as manage your responsibilities. The
key to this industry is being able to adapt. The fashion
industry is constantly changing, and you have to stay two
steps ahead, or you’ll fall 10 steps behind.
