I've also served in several other roles including Merchandising and Marketing Intern for the Central Methodist University campus store and Wardrobe Stylist at Express.

I strive to challenge myself in every position I hold so that I can grow professionally and personally to face new challenges as I advance in my career. I am currently studying Marketing at Central Methodist University in Fayette, Missouri, and I will graduate in May 2015. I see myself working as a creative marketing or visual merchandising professional in the fashion retail industry.
