About Me
I am a forward-thinking and creative recent college graduate aspiring to connect people and the planet. My professional background in sustainability within finance and fashion, combined with a deep enthusiasm for international travel, has fueled my commitment to environmentalism. I am determined to channel this passion into my work within the fashion industry.
As a sustainability enthusiast, I believe in positively impacting the environment and society through multicultural styling and the diversification of textile sourcing. My unique life and professional experiences in fashion, social content, and international travel have enabled me to work towards this goal effectively.
Areas of interest that I would like to pursue at the intersection of sustainability include textile sourcing for clothing brands, fashion styling, and content creation

Travel
Throughout my undergraduate studies, I have been fortunate enough to travel internationally while continuing my studies online. For the past 3 years, I have traveled to and experienced 20 different countries. My journeys have influenced my everyday styling choices and cultivated a vision for clothing styling that incorporates cultural elements with a Western flair.
Through my journeys, I discovered a passion for photography and video editing, enabling me to share my stories and experiences with the world. This opened up a pathway for me in the realm of travel content creation.

Community Gardening
Engaging in volunteer work at community gardens across the Chicagoland area provided me with an opportunity to reconnect with the natural world, offering a grounding experience amidst the hustle and bustle of urban life in the big city.
This passion extends beyond the act of gardening itself; for me, it embraces the collaborative effort to create vibrant, sustainable environments that foster growth, connection, and a sense of belonging. Engaging in community gardening became a meaningful expression of dedication to local ecosystems and shared responsibility. To me, participating in community gardening and pursuing personal projects collectively serve as outlets for creative expression, community engagement, and personal growth.
