Why I chose my major

I chose my major because it allowed me to express my interest in fashion while also showing my business skills. This major at UGA has really prepared me for the corporate world in fashion. 

What I like most about FACS

I love the professors; they are all so helpful and really care about me as a person and my future. I also loved being a part of Couture a la Cart, UGA’s very own student-run retail business. 

Post-graduation plans

I will be starting as an assistant buyer for Corporate Dillard’s in Phoenix, Arizona in June.
