The persistence of Fashion in global history captures a beautiful and complex story. From the copper crowns of Ancient Egypt to the first-ever couture gown designed in 19th century France, it is evident that Fashion is tightly interwoven with societal development. My interest in Fashion has led me to pursue a Graduate education in the subject. I am committed to my dream of working as merchandiser and buyer, and also launching my own luxury handbag business. 

I graduated high school a year in advance through The Keystone School. In May 2025, I graduated from St. John’s University in Queens with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. During my time at St. John's, I wrote for the school's student-run newspaper, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘩.

From April 2022 to August 2025, I worked as an intern with publication 𝘘𝘶𝘢𝘪𝘭 𝘉𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘦,
under the direction of author and artist Christine Stoddard.

During my Senior year, I balanced my rigorous studies with a campus job at the University's Office of Business Affairs. During my summers, I worked at several retailing positions, including Ulta Beauty, Sephora, Alex & Ani, and T.J. Maxx. The mixture of these different environments developed me into a well-rounded, hard-working individual.

I have had writing pieces published in online magazines, including The Piker Press and Literary Yard. New York inspires me as a writer. To me, New York is the most charming and desirable location on Earth. I adore everything about it. I loved to sit outdoors on the stunning grounds of St. John's and turn language into scenery.
