I GREW UP WITH A PECULIAR ABILITY TO COMPREHEND TRENDS AND DESIGN. AT A VERY YOUNG AGE I COULD IDENTIFY THAT CERTAIN PATTERNS AND COLOR SCHEMES BELONGED TO DIFFERENT PERIODS IN TIME, THAT CERTAIN TEXTURES ACCENTUATED THE PROPERTIES OF AN OUTFIT OR A SPACE, AND THAT CERTAIN CLOTHES FAVORED CERTAIN BODY TYPES. I WAS RAISED IN A HOUSEHOLD WHERE ART WAS AT THE CORNERSTONE OF OUR IDENTITY. WHETHER IT BE GOING TO MUSEUMS, WATCHING INDEPENDENT CINEMA, OR LISTENING TO A BROAD VARIETY OF MUSIC, IT ALL CONTRIBUTED TO MY CREATIVE CHARACTER. 

MY PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT BEGAN AS A FASHION DESIGNER, BUT I QUICKLY REALIZED I HAD GAINED A DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THE CYCLE OF FASHION WORKED AND HOW THE INDUSTRY ORGANIZED ITSELF, WHICH LED ME TO SPECIALIZE IN TREND COMPREHENSION AND THEREFORE THE STUDIES OF BRANDING MARKETING, JOURNALISM, AND PHILOSOPHY, WHICH ARE CLOSELY RELATED TO CONSUMER BEHAVIOR. 

SPECIALIZING IN MARKETING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO ALLOWED ME SOME EXPOSURE TO INCREDIBLY TALENTED PROFESSIONALS WHO OPENED THE WAY FOR ME INTO EXPLORING THE SOCIAL IMPACTS OF DIGITAL MEDIA, AND LATER TOOK MY INTERESTS INTO SUSTAINABILITY AND THE ENORMOUS AREAS OF OPPORTUNITY WE HAVE TODAY AS A SOCIETY IN TERMS OF OUR PATTERNS OF CONSUMPTION. 

MY CLIENTS, AND THE PEOPLE AROUND ME, LOOK TO ME FOR ADVICE IN THEIR BRANDS' AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT. I AM OFTEN APPROACHED WITH QUESTIONS ON FASHION, STYLE, AND SMART SHOPPING ADVICE. 

TODAY, AS A HAPPY MOTHER OF THREE, INCREDIBLE, YOUNG GIRLS, I SEEK FOR WAYS TO FULFILL MY PASSION FOR DESIGN AND MY PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN WAYS THAT ALLOW ME TO CONTINUE TO BE FULLY PRESENT IN THE LIFE AND GROWTH OF MY CHILDREN. I AM NOW EXPANDING MY KNOWLEDGE INTO UNRELATED PROFESSIONS SUCH AS: THERAPY WITH CRYSTALS AND MEDICINAL HERB USES. I AM CONSTANTLY SEEKING FOR WAYS TO IMPROVEMY SKILLS AND MAINTAIN MYSELF IN GAME, NOW WITH THE APPLICATION OF A.I.
