Why did you want to join the Maven Magazine team?

I came to Drexel as an undecided-design major at Westphal. And for the first term, I had to shadow different classes throughout Westphal to see what major I wanted to major in. The class that really pushed me to major in Design and Merchandising was Nick's Media Merchandising class. Just seeing the students work on the physical magazine at the time, really just brought this excitement for magazine design that I didn't realize I had. And ever since then, I really was just waiting for the opportunity to take this class and join the team.

What are some of your interests & hobbies?

Outside my major, when I have free time I model. In 2021, I was signed with my modeling agency. And I am really excited to see where modeling takes me. Everything I do is outside of school is to help me pursue my dreams into the fashion industry. So when I have free time, I just want to relax, travel, and when I feel energized I take up drawing and photography.

Favorite place to shop and why?

My favorite place to shop at the moment is Zara. Ever since I studied aboard in London for two months, the only place I was actually able to find clothes that I actually liked and purchased from was from Zara.

What is your dream job?

I have two dreams jobs. My first one is to have a successful modeling career. Hopefully, when I graduate in the summer I will be taking the steps towards that goal. And my second one is to one day work for a fashion publication or create my own. I haven't decided yet. I am so interesting in the creation of a publication and what goes into the making and the marketing of a magazine whether it is physically or digitally.

Favorite food?

If anyone knows me, I am a huge cheeseburger and fries gal. Do not judge me by my looks, I can eat burgers and fries almost every day. Every time I go to a restaurant, I will 9 times to 10 get a cheeseburger and fries.
