About Me

I'm 21, and I'm a senior at Arcadia University. I love reading, cooking, traveling, and hanging out with my friends and family. I'm very passionate about slow fashion, positivity, and preserving the environment.

 

My Academics

I'm majoring in Global Media with a concentration in Fashion Studies. I'm particularly interested in marketing, and my interest in social media stems from my belief that it is now a pillar of our current communications strategy. I have studied abroad 3 times: London, England in Fall 2016; Florence, Italy in Fall 2018; Brisbane, Australia in Spring 2019.

 

My Extracurricular Activities

I am a 2 time FYSAE mentor which allows me to mentor freshman students who are studying abroad like I did. I am also a member of Phi Beta Delta which is and Honors Society for students who have spent time abroad as part of their higher education. I was a reader at the Social Justice Open Mic Night held at my university.

 

My Sports Activities

I am a former cheerleader who now practices yoga as often as possible.

My Lifestyle

I am currently in the process of educating myself on fast and slow fashion in the hopes to stop supporting the fast fashion industry. I am also conscious of my waste production and do my best to minimize my effects of the environment everyday.

 

My Charitable Wish List on Changing The Present

I love the idea of people donating instead of buying unwanted presents. It is a much more meaningful way to show your love.
