I could go on about all of my accomplishments such as being on the deans list every semester of my college career, Vice-President of Phi Psi, a professional co-ed textile fraternity for two years, recently becoming a CAD lab assistant, or I could even boast about my position at Stephanie's Bridal, a fantastic formal-wear shop in Pennsburg; but let's face it, everyone in this competition has some great credentials. What do I have to offer that's different? Well, aside from being a hard working, dedicated, and talented fashion design SENIOR; I've also got some other tricks up my sleeve. Such tricks include being a: skydiver, snowboarder, paintball player, rock climber (ok, so confession time, I've only done those last four once each, but let me tell you I can't wait to do them again!), dog-lover, horrible speller (thank God for spell check), "natural" blonde, and all around fun person! Who else can offer all that? In all honesty though, I am so incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be on this show. I hope my work speaks for itself. I'm completely dedicated to fashion and my education, and I feel like this will be an incredible learning experience.
