Chapman '28

I am so excited to write for Her Campus! This has been my dream for several years and I look forward to sharing my work with all of you.

Although I now reside in Southern California, I’ve been loyal to the East Coast for most of my life. I spent my childhood in Pennsylvania before attending the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in the bustling streets of NYC. During my time at FIT, I studied fashion design and had the privilege of learning from some of the industry’s top fashion educators. After my freshman year, I took the risk of moving over 2,700 miles away from my hometown to attend Chapman University.

At Chapman, I am currently an English major and psychology minor (I find the human mind very fascinating!). I am also involved in Chapman’s University Honors Program and love taking interdisciplinary classes that challenge my perspectives. My work has been featured in Chapman’s honors magazine and I hope to continue publishing my work. Besides writing, I also love expressing my creativity through drawing, dancing, and playing the piano.

When I’m not taking classes or hanging out in Chapman’s library, you will find me running on the track. After completing a walk-on tryout during my first semester here, I am now a member of Chapman’s track and field team. I work tirelessly to become the best athlete I can be and I love every minute of it.

I love using the little free time I have left to travel, read, go shopping, and simply binge watch my favorite television shows on the couch.
