I am currently a student at Dominican University and I will graduate in May 2009 with a Bachelors Degree in Fashion Design. I love traveling and have been to Germany, Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic, and Ghana and I hope to see as much of the world as I can. My travels are very influential on my work and help me to see things in new ways.

          I dance with the American Aid Society of German Descendants Youth Group and have been dancing with the group for 16 years. I love my heritage and wish to learn everything about it. I love historical dress and using old world techniques in my work. Making dirndls comes naturally to me since I have grown up wearing them and I look forward creating my own dirndl line.

For me, inspiration comes from everywhere...
