Hometown: Nashville, TN  

Year: Junior                          

Anticipated Graduation Date: May 2021

Description of Program: I designed my program to teach me the necessary skills required to be able to operate my own business and be the fashion designer of my own brand.
“Fashion ICON Education” was formed to teach me about how much of an influence fashion has on the world these days and how I can use the influence to promote a positive message throughout the people.
The true goal of this program is to learn how to create. I am taking courses that help me pursue my goal of not just being able to evaluate or apply something, but to creating something new in whatever I decide to get into in my future. As an entrepreneur, I enjoy being able provide an influence in more than just one field.
I am someone who uses themselves as the tool to advance in any field of my desire. I use the knowledge that I have amassed to put myself into my work and create something new. That is what I like to call “Creative Entrepreneurship”.
For whatever field I decide to take part in and, I will be successful. I invest into myself and others to exploit the powers and talents that we as humans hold.

As long as there is a chance for my dream to be brought into fruition, I will never give up. It is who I am and I will inspire the world into awaking the power within each individual.
