“At an early age of 7 years old I used to cut out pictures of clothes from my mom’s beauty magazines and catalogs to create my own fashion albums. Over time I began to draw my own designs which eventually evolved into the creation of my own fashion line for dolls and stuffed animals. I hand sewed them and reused old T-shirts and pillowcases to create dresses and accessories for them. As a child, this is when I developed a love for fashion. I am thankful for the guidance of my family when searching for a career. On this journey, I spent 6 years studying, learning, and working in the marketing and communication world. This experience was very valuable because I learned how to communicate and build relationships with clients, develop problem-solving skills, and sell my ideas within advertising agencies.”
