About
To utilize my talents and strengthen my skills in order to meet the challenges of the fashion industry. The knowledge obtained through my education and job experience will be used as a tool to communicate my ideas to the job market. This will be accomplished by presenting my unique design concepts. I hope to attain a position as a fashion assistant and pursue a career in apparel design.I have been involved in the rigorous fashion course study under the tutelage of experienced members of the fashion community. During this time I have been trained and gained extensive knowledge in the areas of pattern making, draping, sewing, illustration, computer aided design, and graphic design. I was the 2002 recipient of the Karin Shier Memorial Scholarship. I was also chosen to represent the college in the International Gen Arts Competition.
