Summary

For the past four years I have been building my skill set, knowledge, and level of experience in order to achieve my career goal of being a

professional in the fashion design industry. However, my passion for the fashion industry goes beyond professional goals. In fact, I have

been enamored with fashion ever since I was old enough to dress myself.

During my tenure in college I dedicated myself keeping up with trends in the fashion industry while improving my knowledge of fashion

trends, designs, and customer behavior. However, I also dedicated plenty of time to achieving real-world experience in the fashion industry.

After dedicating the last 7 years to learning, working entry-level jobs and internships, and developing a broad skill set, I now feel prepared

and even more motivated to step right into the fashion industry and continue to learn and grow.
