Resume

As a passionate and detail-oriented junior studying Apparel Design at Auburn University, I specialize in creating innovative designs that blend functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability. My diverse experience includes serving as Social Media & PR Co-Chair for the 2025 AU Fashion Event, where I honed my expertise in brand promotion and public relations. Having worked with multiple brands and grown my presence on platforms like Like to Know It, I bring a unique perspective to trend forecasting and digital marketing within the fashion industry. In addition to my design background, I’ve studied abroad in Ariccia, Italy, broadening my understanding of global fashion and human sciences. My current design focus is sustainable sportswear, particularly in winter/skiwear, aligning with my commitment to ethical fashion innovation. I aim to translate my skills into future roles while continuing to grow in areas like creative direction and trend analysis.
