I am born and raised from New Orleans, Louisiana, and I went to high school at John Ehret. My love for fashion is strongly influenced by the city's culture and expressive fashion style. At 15 I joined a program named FINO that taught kids and teens modeling, sewing, photography and makeup. Then, at 16 and 17, I participated in a summer internship that also taught covered fashion basics and sewing. When I begin learning how to sew and create clothing, I realized I wanted to pursue a career out of fashion.
I consider myself very composed person, so in my free time I like to practice my sewing and sketching. My hobbies include working out, watching Netflix, playing video games and hang out with friends

Personality and Strengths
To identify my strengths, I first took the 16personailties quiz to determine my personality. My personality type is Advocate (INFJ-A). Some of the strengths from my personality type include insightful communicator, self-improver, and empathetic. This quiz helped me notice my strengths and develop my three personal strengths statements below.
Self-improver
I am deeply committed to continuous growth and personal development. I am driven by an inner desire to better myself without needing external validation or motivation. This strength helps me in college and my future career because I am always curious and wanting to try new things and expand my horizons.
Empathetic
I am highly attuned to the emotions and needs of others. I can recognize and interpret the emotions of others even when they are not openly expressed. I take the time to fully understand another person's perspective even when it differs from mine. This strength helps me in college because, by being empathetic, I create a safe space for others so express themselves.
Thoughtful Communicator
I tend to be intentional, considerate, and clear when it comes to communication. I pay attention to what others have to say. I consider the feelings and perspectives of others and adjust my communication style to be more sensitive towards them. This strength helps me in college and my future career because I can navigate difficult conversations with consideration and respect.
