I have been passionate about fashion from a young age, firstly always wanting to wear my mums clothes which turned into exploring it through school all levels (10-13) in school and continuing to develop my skills and understanding independently. Alongside this, I have a strong interest in wellbeing and self-care, appreciating how they support confidence, strength, and balance in daily life. These interests have shaped the way I approach creativity, problem-solving, and personal expression. I am eager to bring this perspective into my studies, contributing to a community that values innovation, thoughtful engagement, and the intersection of style and wellbeing, while continuing to grow both personally and professionally.
