Serving as the Co-Director, I acted as a liason between the Fashion Network Association and the students of the Apparel Design and Merchandising program. An event intended to highlight the skills and abilities of our designers and merchandisers alike, I worked to oversee the organization and delegation of tasks of the Front and Back of House committees.

The official press release for Runway 2014: Provoke with a quote from myself explaining the show's title, “Provoke is an appropriate title as we seniors seek to do just that. Staying true to our department’s commitment to sustainability, we are the change that the industry needs in terms of social responsibility and aide our industry shift towards more conscientious actions.”

A finalized draft of the flyer I submitted for the show to use in all forms of marketing and promotion.

My first fashion event while studying abroad in Paris, New York-based Capsule's Paris Women's show during Paris Fashion Week was an opportunity to use the skills that I had gained through my involvement in the FNA and other shows.
