I plan to attend one of the art schools that accepted me (Parsons, CCA, Otis, FIT, Drexel, or SCAD) and study fashion design this fall. I focus on fashion design because it is one of the best forms of self-expression and combines all my creative interests, talents, and skills. I have always had a passion for fashion. I started designing wearable art in elementary school, which led me to learn metal and leather jewelry making, sewing, garment construction, and fashion illustration in high school.

Being neurodivergent (LD and ADHD) has taught me how to tap into my passions and become a resilient student. I have found that I have a unique ability to focus and excel in everything creative (art, photography, creative writing, singing, etc.) and in every subject that requires learners to observe and analyze details like history, science (using the scientific method), and psychology.

In college, I hope to explore issues of inclusivity and sustainability that impact the fashion industry and bring new ideas and perspectives into my designs and the world of fashion.
