Sr. Coordinator: Buying & Data Processing

After four years at Penn State, I graduated with a degree in advertising/PR and a minor in business as well as four varsity letters, three academic all BigTen honors, and an NCAA national championship. But even more than that, I left with an understanding of success with honor, an ability to work hard with a team to achieve a greater goal, the capacity to step us as a team leader, a business conscious way of thinking, and an analytical marketing view to everything I encounter. I also spent my time outside Penn State academics and athletics working on my skills in the fashion design industry such as sketching, sewing, fashion photography, and Adobe Creative Suite tools. I have worked to make sure my skills in fashion, business, and advertising combine seamlessly to make me an asset in the fashion industry.
