About Me
I am a second year FBM major at F.I.T. My goal after college is to work in bridal retail and gain experience in that field. I would like to open my own bridal salon in the future and run my own business.
​
For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to do something in fashion. The show 'Say Yes to the Dress' made me want to specifically work in bridal. I want to be able to help brides find their dream gown that they have been dreaming about. A wedding in an important occasion, so why not help make it even more special?
