About Me

My photo
Growing up I filled my schedule with dance classes, in every variation of dance. Searching for a costume was one of my favorite tasks each year. I would pay close attention to the story it told and how it would move on the stage. Would it complete the story that I was trying to tell with the dance? That same excitement followed me to love the fashion industry. I like to think of the whole story that is being told and how the movement of the clothes is the language. Just like dance is an art form, I look at fashion as an art and not simply a business.

Conquered Goals

Before coming to Italy, I told myself that I would take in the culture in every way possible. I would try new foods, listen to new music, and enjoy the new culture around me. Once I was here I had goals of getting red pants, as that has been a major trend I was noticing. With all of the shopping I have done, that has been a success after finally getting the right size!

Another thing I noticed in all of the Italians was the confidence they have in everything they do. They dress how they feel and keep their heads high. The women are able to walk in high heels on cobblestone streets and watching this daily, it became another goal of mine to conquer. The night of the Vladimiro Gioia event, I walked between places in the only pair of high heels I brought. (This is not including wedges) I did not trip, stumble, or need to hold onto anyone, but I did go slower than usual.

Always fashionable in high heels
I have learned a lot about the Italian culture but also about myself. This trip has shown me that I love the fashion industry and can’t wait to start my career in it. I consider myself hardworking and determined in anything I start.  I have taken in all of the great advice I have been given here and will apply it to how I move forward in the public relations field. I want to come back in the future, but I know no matter how many times I come back, I will never be able to see all there is to see in Italy!
