EDUCATION
The best decision I ever made was choosing to do running start my junior and senior year of high school. After graduating Lake Stevens High School in 2016, I completed my Direct Transfer Associate's Degree at Everett Community College in 2017.
Transferring to Central Washington University, I chose to major in the Apparel, Textiles and Merchandising program. Since starting my journey in Spring 2018, I have accomplished hands-on projects including merchandising for the CWU 22nd Annual Fashion show, styling a window display in the Wildcat Shop, and creating an adaptive football jersey. My college education has extended beyond fashion as I will obtain a minor in Retail Management & Technology and a minor in Accessibility Studies. I hope to one day raise more awareness for the need for adaptive clothing in the fashion industry.
