I am a current student at Bay State College in Boston. I am currently studying fashion merchandising, but plan to continue in fashion design. I have held several leadership positions and been involved in other extra curricular activities. I was a sales associate and visual assistant in the ”James Perse” Sample Sale in Boston, MA. I was a “designer’s assistant” in Bay State’s fashion show in 2010 and was accepted onto the Dean’s list in the same year. I have also volunteered to assist in different fashion shows including Betsey Johnson’s “Cure for Cancer” fashion show in Boston Fashion Week 2011. I have had several jobs that have involved customer service and sharing my fashion knowledge. I am aspiring to know and understand all that the fashion industry has to offer.
