Student

Savannah, GA, USA
I am currently enrolled at the Savannah College of Art and Design. My field of study is Fashion Marketing and Management with a minor in business. I aim to take my knowledge of the fashion industry and apply it to my objective of becoming a sustainability consultant. My ultimate goal is to promote environmentally consciousness and economic equality in the fashion industry. To help bring designer and manufacturer together to create an open and transparent supply chain. I also want to broaden the definition of beauty in the fashion industry by including all sizes, races, genders, and ages. I wish to make the fashion industry a more sustainable and welcoming place thought my hard work ethic and passion.
