Out of all the universities you looked at, what made you ultimately choose Miami?

The location and the Fashion/Art entrepreneurship co-majors.

How did you choose your major(s)? Were you decided from the beginning, or did you discover your interests here along the way?

I have been in fashion for 11 years now and decided I needed to get a fashion degree to go where I wanted to go in the long run. I was previously an engineering major.

Tell us about any special experiential learning opportunities that have influenced you in a positive way.

I own a business and dabble in all things art. I mentor others in fashion, teach fashion and various art classes at Baker Hunt Art and Cultural Center, do private label design for various businesses, and manufacture my own products. I am releasing my first-ever designer bag collection in February.

What are your plans after you graduate from Miami? What is your dream job?

I would like to grow my fashion business and do a ton of behind-the-scenes work for film. I would love to ultimately design for film and especially Bridgerton. Once I do that, I will feel like I have made it.

Is there anything else you'd like to share about your Miami experience that we didn't cover?

I have yet to meet a fashion professor who wasn't a genius. The fashion staff deserves a round of applause.
