I am a recent graduate from Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business, where I studied Retail Merchandising, Supply Chain Operations, and Technology Management.  My academic success and commitment to leadership allowed me to be one of 130 student accepted into the Kelley School of Business Honors Program. 

In addition to my coursework, I was involved in Women In Business, a professional organization dedicated to the development of women, Alpha Chi Omega, a social sorority, and mentored international students at the Asian Culture Center.

In the Summer of 2014, I had the wonderful opportunity to intern with L Brands/Mast on the Product Development team for Victoria’s Secret Sport.  This experience allowed me to develop my passions for performance apparel. In addition, I have interned with Zhou Heng, a product development company in Chang Zhou, China, and with Atrium Buying Corp., specifically supporting the Thirty-One Gifts business. 

I am passionate about the Retail Industry and product life cycle, especially where function meets fashion. I look to build a career with a company that is fast-paced and innovative, where I can learn and be challenged every single day.
