I am a mid-career fashion industry professional transitioning into academia and education. I have extensive experience in production, quality control, cross-functional collaboration, and organizational processes within the fashion industry. I am currently completing my undergraduate degree in Communications (Rhetoric & Advocacy) at Baruch College and a psychology minor with the goal of pursuing graduate study in Industrial/Organizational Psychology right after obtaining my bachelor's degree.
