During my time at Central Washington University, I have had the pleasure in taking the apparel, textiles, and merchandising fashion major. While doing so, I also took up a minor in project management. When looking at the future, I can see how much this fashion major has already benefited me in so many different ways. I have seen the fashion world in many different perspectives. This being from a designer view, buyer view, and more. This program has allowed me to break free from my comfort zone and get my voice out in the fashion industry. I have explored jobs that I did not know existed and have had interest in so many different areas of this industry. I have personally grown so much in my own aspects, such as time management, organization, visualization, and also keeping an open mind about my visions. I have found that keeping an open mind and going with my personal thoughts has lead me to more success than being timid and holding back my ideas. This program has allowed me to explore my aesthetic skills, and open a door that I never thought was there.
