Summary
I am a third-year student majoring in film with a concentration in production and a passion for fashion history and costume design. Whether working individually or as part of a team. I thrive in creative environments where I can bring characters and stories to life through clothing. With experience in wardrobe, customer service, and production, I enjoy blending artistry with practicality to ensure every detail is perfect. I am always eager to learn, collaborate, and contribute my skills to projects that inspire and challenge me.
