Fashion business student working toward creative direction through styling, photoshoot production and trend research, from NYFW backstage to brand campaigns in New York.
Dressing models for runway shows and events produced for Neiman Marcus, where every look has to be right the moment the model steps out.
Interned with The Bureau Fashion Week, an agency that produces runway shows for New York Fashion Week, managing backstage entry and flow during live shows on a schedule measured in minutes.
Worked as a styling assistant on three photoshoots for Hickey Freeman, Tallia and Peerless e-commerce, from packing the garments to seeing the final images published.
On each shoot I worked with the stylist to plan and execute wardrobe: coordinating model looks and outfit changes, packing and organizing garments, steaming and styling pieces on set, assisting with fittings and adjusting each look throughout production.
In the office I conducted trend, consumer and competitive research for seasonal creative direction and contributed to Peerless' 2027 Trend Report, while supporting creator research, outreach and product seeding for influencer initiatives.
Seeing the final images come together made the work behind them feel meaningful, from styling and fitting to adjusting each look on set.
Styled mannequins across multiple showrooms around seasonal color stories, collections and brand direction for client meetings and showroom appointments.
Supported Peerless-sponsored events with the Mother's Day/Father's Day Council and Foreseeable Future Foundation: setup, gift bags, check-in, photos and video.
Visited Bloomingdale's to assess Ted Baker's in-store presentation and shared photos and notes on assortment and merchandising with the Ted Baker team.
Intern projectClosed the summer with a final project on making Peerless' internal processes more efficient.
I launched a personal styling business and designed its signature service, Closet Refresh + Shop: one flat fee covering everything from the first meeting through the final fitting.
I built the service from the ground up: the process, the pricing, the payment terms and the client agreement. Clients keep what they love, clear out what isn't working and add new pieces that fit their style, body, life and budget.
Lifestyle, goals, favorite looks, fit preferences and budget, so every decision after is built around the client.
About 1 hrPiece by piece into keep, tailor and let go, with new ways to wear what they own and notes on gaps.
2–3 hrsIn-store and online sourcing for pieces that fill the gaps, within the shopping budget set together.
Behind the scenesTry on, decide together and learn to style new pieces with existing ones. I handle tailoring and returns.
1–2 hrsI create personalized styling experiences using trend analysis, sales insights and each client's preferences.
I drove sales through my own content and product storytelling, and supported the Scottsdale store opening, brand activations and influencer events.
Seasonal outfit posts styled in Princess Polly, each sending followers to shop with my personal discount code. My content and product storytelling generated $10,680 in sales.
Took the branded Princess Polly Jeep around campus with fellow ambassadors, giving away merch and bringing the brand to students.
Helped host an in-store shopping event for local influencers, with a hosted bar, grazing table and the new Princess Polly lookbook.
Styled the reporter in Princess Polly and helped coordinate a live FOX 10 news segment filmed at the Scottsdale store.
Full Throttle. No Brakes. A limited-edition Diesel × Formula 1 collection I planned from concept to clearance, for the case study that earned my 2026 Fashion Scholarship Fund scholarship.
I developed the assortment, a six-month sales plan with markdown, turnover and margin targets, and a channel strategy split between e-commerce and pop-up retail.

Diesel e-commerce is the primary channel, with global reach and the ability to drive consistent sales.
Formula One pop-ups create exclusivity and urgency. The collectible helmet, Golden Yellow tee and Vintage Cream handbag are sold only at pop-ups, which turns each event into a marketing moment for both brands.
Launch is front-loaded in March, sales peak in May with the race calendar and the helmet release, and controlled markdowns run June through August.
