Why did you want to join the Maven Magazine team?
I loved the idea of being able to create something so authentic and true to who Drexel students really are. Having the platform to write about my opinions and issues I care about is extremely important to me, I'm so glad Maven allows me to speak my mind!
What are some of your interests & hobbies?
I love exploring different cities and trying new restaurants. You can learn so much about a community by going there and just participating in their culture.
Favorite place to shop and why?
2nd street vintage. I love the idea of vintage/thrift stores because there's usually only one of every item. It's super fun sorting through different aesthetics, eras & even designers.
What is your dream job?
I really want to end up working for a fashion PR firm. I love fashion but I'm fascinated by how fast our world is evolving and the different ways you can market brands to target a certain audience.
Favorite food?
PIZZA!!!! Pietros has the best brick oven pizza.
Favorite designer?
I love Vivian Westwood, her work is super fascinating to me. I've recently been into the funky, edgy aesthetic and want to try and expand my style more this year.
