Summary
If life were a game, I’m the house, the one you don’t bet against. I walk into every room with confidence and a little sparkle, and somehow people just…notice. I lead with kindness, lift others up without thinking twice, and I’ve been told more than once that I have that “star quality” you can’t teach. I don’t pretend to know everything (boring), but I learn fast, listen deeply, and work hard enough to become great at anything I set my mind to. I’m fearless, people-oriented, endlessly curious, and always ready to turn opportunity into momentum, and I do it all with grace and a smile on my face.

Work History
Vogue Summer School Student
Condé Nast
07.2025 - 08.2025
- I attended Vogue Summer School in NYC, a prestigious and immersive program hosted by the leading name in fashion, where I threw myself into every workshop, lecture, and cite visit with genuine excitement and curiosity.
- At 17, I took on New York City completely on my own, navigating the subway, exploring the fashion districts, and learning how to stand tall in a city that moves fast. It taught me independence, courage, and how to trust my instincts.
- I made it a point to be known in every room. Whether it was talking to editors, designers, or fellow students from across the world, I wasn’t afraid to introduce myself, ask questions, or start conversations.
- Absorbed every piece of knowledge I could, staying after sessions to learn more, speak to professionals, strangers, etc., treating every moment like a chance to grow.
- Chosen as the student speaker at the closing ceremony, where I represented my cohort and shared what our time in New York meant to us.
- I built a meaningful connection with luxury jewelry house Verdura, a relationship I initiated through my own effort, confidence, and genuine interest in the industry. I will potentially intern for them in 2026.
- The program opened my eyes to the business side of fashion brand identity, marketing, storytelling, and how the industry truly operates behind the scenes.
