Since graduating from the University of Missouri-St. Louis in 2019 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, I have decided to return to school to achieve my career goal of working in the fashion industry as a womenswear designer who strives to bring sustainability, diversity, and femininity to my designs. I have been accepted and committed to the Fashion Design Associate's degree program at Parson School of Design in New York.

Sabrina Carpenter Superfan Scholarship
February 14th 2025, was a day that changed my life forever. Not only was it Valentine’s Day, my favorite holiday, but it also marked the release of the deluxe edition of Short n' Sweet by Sabrina Carpenter. From that moment on, “Busy Woman” quickly became my most-played song on Spotify, and I was in her top 0.3% of listeners that year. That album release was the catalyst that turned me into a full-blown Sabrina Carpenter superfan. As someone who is deeply inspired by retro, feminine, and storytelling visuals, I was immediately drawn to her style and music. The way she utilizes fashion, set design, lyrics, choreography, and more to explore the complexities of love, loss, and nonsense in relationships has inspired me to embrace my own creative vision more boldly, especially in how I express myself aesthetically. Every project she takes on, from her Christmas special to her starring on the Muppet Show to her collaboration with Dunkin' Donuts, is so authentically her. She stays true to her creative vision while allowing herself to evolve, which is something I deeply admire about her. Ultimately, being a fan of Sabrina Carpenter has gone far beyond simply enjoying her music and performances. She has taught me the value of intentionality and authenticity in everything you do. As someone pursuing a future rooted in design and visual storytelling, I carry that lesson with me in everything that I create. She encourages me to embrace who I am and be completely unapologetic in my femininity, playfulness, and romanticism, one sparkly bodysuit at a time.
