Current Title:
Divisional Trend Manager at JCPenney
Degree:
Fashion Design, with a Minor in Art History (2017)
Career Bio:
My career journey demonstrates the importance of patience and timing, as I moved from a NYC internship to freelancing before landing a trend role at JCPenney in New York just as my retail job closed. Over the past six years, JCPenney has continued to be a fertile ground for growth, teaching me that sometimes waiting is necessary for the right opportunities to unfold.
"A unique aspect of Kent State compared to other art schools is the ability for students to simultaneously study fashion and experience a typical university life full of extracurricular activities. Attending biology lectures, playing in the orchestra and biking a beautiful campus while studying fashion allowed for a comprehensive college experience."
