"When I first started in the fashion program, I thought I may become an editor of a fashion magazine someday. As I progressed in my studies and gained more experience, I learned I am curious about product and passionate about the shopping experience. That's why I'm excited to be working in buying, because it's a great way to balance the creative and analytical sides of the business. "
