When I found out the core of my brand, at a very young age, I followed my instinct and stepped into my passion and purpose. Despite my challenges, I continuously harvested my passion and purpose: fashion design. I began designing apparels for my Bratz dolls, and with my family investing in my inclination, in 2013, I launched my first fashion collection. Currently fulfilling areas associated with my purpose, a candidate for a Bachelor of Managerial Science degree in Business with a concentration of Business Management, and surrounding myself with individuals who accentuate my talent, my intention is to obtain a career leading a company in the industry of fashion.
