Bachelors of Science, Fashion Merchandising - Fordham University

When I was child, the idea of "Fashion" seemed so out of my reach. I would pick up items from the Salvation Army and put them together in interesting ways. I became known for having a unique style which sparked my interest in making fashion a career.
