Why I chose my major

I chose my major because ever since I was a little girl, I dreamed of becoming a fashion designer. I love being creative and making others feel the most confident in their own skin. I am so grateful to come to class every day and learn about material that I am extremely passionate about. 

What I like most about FACS

Coming from a small, rural town, the atmosphere at UGA could be overwhelming, so the close-knit community and welcoming environment at FACS made me feel like I was at home. Every student, professor, and staff member I have met during my time at this college has had my best interest in mind and supported me every step of the way. I hope that I can do the same during my time as a FACS Ambassador and give back to the college I love so much!
