I am a senior at the University of Cincinnati and will graduate with a Bachelor's Degree in Fashion Design from the College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning (DAAP) in April, 2017.

As part of the DAAP program, I will also complete five co-op terms. These co-ops have included a production internship in womenswear at The Row in New York City, a womenswear design internship that included bridal lingerie design at For Love and Lemons in Los Angeles and a menswear design internship for Brett Johnson Collection in Washington, DC.  My most recent co-op term was a bit unconventional for DAAP;  I spent two months backpacking across Europe for design inspiration for my senior collection and expanding my skills in fashion illustration. 

Upon graduation, I am seeking an entry level position as a design assistant in womenswear. I hope to find a position where I can enhance my technical design skills, as well as work directly with the design team. I am eager and excited to see what this next year has in store for me.
