Students will begin the class by introducing themselves, what drew them to fashion and what their main focus or passion is within the Fashion Industry. Though I will teach an entire overview, it will help me to assess and tailor more specific information around their ideal roles & interests of choice.

Learning Goals
After our initial introduction and breakdown in the 1st class, students will then choose 2-3 positions that seem of interest to them during our 2nd class, and we will delve in and learn more specific, detailed information that I will tailor for each student. From -
-What each role is titled, what each position entails, and what upward escalation/trajectory in each role looks like; starting salary, etc.
-Education requirements - what classes students can begin to take, even in middle/high school, that will aid in their chosen profession; all the way up to College, MFA and Certification programs; Internships, etc.
-Top companies in each respected field of choice (Top Magazines, Design Houses, Agencies, Studios, etc.)
-Best “Market” (location) in each respected field of choice

Teacher expertise and credentials
I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from The New School (University) in New York, New York; with a double major in Psychology & The Arts and with a minor in Writing. I also happened to take several Fashion courses at Parsons School of Design.
Prior to university, I signed with my 1st Modeling Agency in NYC at 17 (and have been represented in Europe & Africa as well), and have worked with clients such as - Puma, Tommy Hilfiger, Hood by Air, Telfar, Cassette Playa & Netflix; and featured in publications such as Dazed&Confused, i-D, Wonderland, VFiles, Out, Hypebeast, Huffington Post and more.
I took that experience and parlayed it into working a myriad of "behind the scenes" roles in Fashion & Entertainment - as a Stylist and Fashion & Editorial Associate for GQ, WWD, Glamour, and Interview Magazine(s); to working in Production at Warner Bros. Studios; to freelancing in Marketing/Public Relations & Creative Consulting for multiple brands & companies - steadily working in NYC, L.A. & Europe over the last decade!Reviews
