I'm from Omaha, Nebraska, and am currently an Apparel Merchandising major at Indiana University with a concentration in Fashion Design. I'm interested in merchandising because I grew up sketching and hand-crafting designs and apparel, so I am naturally a creative person. I am driven to contribute fresh perspectives and creative solutions to any design or merchandising team through my attention to detail and communication skills. With the goal of bridging the gap between creativity and commerce, I am excited to use my enthusiasm for fashion design and merchandising to advance my strengths in leadership positions. My ultimate goal is a career aligning with my skills and interests, which allows me to grow in my professional and personal knowledge.
