What do you hope to do after graduation? I will first do an internship since I’m on a student visa. Right now I’m hoping to get an internship at Amazon and then I’ll see where the road takes me. I’m open to moving to Asia as well to pursue my fashion career.
Why did you want to become MODE fashion groups President? First of all it’s a great experience and is something that I can’t be taught in class. I love working with fellow students and having the chance to plan a great show will be a great accomplishment.
What can we expect from this years fashion show? It will be full of forces of fashion. We have amazing designers who are very excited to present their ideas and creations at this year’s show. The show gives our designers the opportunity to express themselves without any limitations. We are striving for a show that will be remembered for a very long time. Luckily I have a great team and we are working hard to make this year a good one.
What are your hobbies outside of school? (Or what do you like to do with your free time) I enjoy running because it helps me de-stress between school, work, and running the club. I of course like to spend time with close family and friends when I have time. Recently I became interested in the adult coloring books, and so far I enjoy it a lot.
