I have loved fashion for as long as I can remember. My passion for the industry began early when my mom opened her own boutique in my hometown, surrounding me with retail, clothing, fashion, and design from a young age. Growing up in that environment gave me an intuitive understanding of the industry and shaped the way I view style, creativity, and business. Although I like to joke that I had been working in retail since childhood, I began my first official retail job at 16 and have been building experience in the industry ever since.

 

Most recently, I interned for a personal stylist in Chicago, where I gained hands-on experience in styling, client service, and the day-to-day operations of a fashion business. Alongside that role, I also style my own clients, which has strengthened my understanding of the market, different types of shoppers, and the design details that make fashion feel both personal and intentional.

 

Beyond fashion, I am drawn to needlepoint, decorating, and all things visual. Needlepoint, in particular, has broadened my perspective by deepening my appreciation for color theory, texture, fibers, and craftsmanship. I have always been told that I “have an eye,” and that instinct continues to shape the way I approach styling, design, and creative problem-solving.

 

I am currently seeking creative opportunities, either remote or in the greater Chicago area, where I can continue growing, gaining experience, and contributing to visually compelling, meaningful work in Retail, social media, or Fashion
