I chose Central Washington University's ATM program due to my love of creation. Whether it be designing, patterning, sewing, or merchandising, I adore every creative step in the process of producing a garment. This program has allowed me to not only learn in depth about the parts I'm passionate about, but to also have a deep understanding of other parts of the industry, and how they all work together. During my time at Central, I've made the Dean's list 2 times, as well as being the staging lead for the programs 29th Annual Fashion Show. Utilizing my internship at my current place of employment this summer, I plan on applying my knowledge to the real world to gain experience.
