Academic/Career Interest

A fashion collaborative I am deeply interested in. It’s run by OSU alumni and is still in Columbus. The organization helps young people get started in the fashion industry. This allows creativity in the city to progress.

A book about fashion that I find interesting. The novel by James Laver focuses on the influence fashion has on culture, and the history of costuming “Through the ages”.

Semester in Review

As my first semester at Ohio State nears it’s end, I can’t help but reflect upon what I’ve learned thus far. I have discovered new passions, such as fashion and Retail, and left some old dreams behind, like being a science major. As I make this transition I feel confident that I’ll find the path I am supposed to follow and determine a career I will love!
