I. Love. Fashion.

I've always had a passion for all things related to clothing, trends, and retail, so there has never been a doubt in my mind that after graduating college, I would work somewhere within the fashion industry. However, I chose to attend a university that ended up having little to no opportunities for individuals interested in a career in fashion. Not even a club! Needless to say, I was really worried that I screwed up big time -- Did I go to the wrong school? Should I transfer somewhere that has a fashion program?

Coincidentally, while I was having these doubts, I discovered that Victoria's Secret PINK was looking for Campus Representatives for my school, Cal Poly SLO. Flash forward two years, I can confidently say that the PINK Campus Rep Program has provided me with the opportunities that were the most impactful and empowering of my college experience. Opportunities such as launching the new #pinkgrlpwr campaign helped me discover a greater sense of who I am.

From planning 200+ people events, running multimedia campaigns, recruiting PINK Campus Team members, and ultimately creating a PINK family -- I have been empowered to find what roles I am most passionate about, ultimately leading to my future career.

Programs, like this one, are so helpful for college students to test the waters of respective fields before diving head first into a career. It teaches students to really learn about the important aspects of a company like its mission and company culture. Being a PINK Campus Rep has been so essential to my personal and professional growth, and I truly feel like the presence of PINK on Cal Poly's campus served this unmet need for a community empowering women for all of the students, myself included. The PINK Campus Rep program helped me define what I want to do with my passion for fashion and empowering women!
