PROFILE I am currently in my 2nd year studying Fashion Marketing at Falmouth University. My degree has allowed me to cover strategic marketing communications, buying, retail, visual merchandising, events management and creative design. The university has inspired me to collaborate with students outside my course to build my own projects. As course representative I hold the responsibility of informing, inspiring and improving my classmates’ academic experiences. Through my position as committee member of the Fashion Society, I am able to contribute to ideas and try to motivate my team with exciting projects e.g fundraisers, magazine features and events. I am excited at the prospect of applying the skills that I have learnt to professional practice. I am outgoing and adventurous and have visions of working and connecting across the globe. I recently did a solo trip travelling America and the professional connections which I made have inspired me to work in the fashion capitals, e.g Paris, Milan, New York and Shanghai. I have recently been accepted to study Graphic Design at NABA University in Milan for 4 months starting February.
