Today marked the end of my Workroom FashionMash Editorial course—a class that was equal parts challenging and fun. This course allowed me to dive deep into the world of fashion, photography, and editorial design while collaborating with incredible partners like Ralph Lauren to create some truly memorable projects. As I reflect on this semester, I realize how much I leaned on the hands-on experience I gained at Onward Reserve this past summer, particularly during one unforgettable 3-day on-location photoshoot in South Georgia.

So, I go to a Public Ivy, but my little brother goes to an Ivy. Let’s talk about it.

Senior year feels like the most bittersweet chapter of my life. Every day, I am painfully aware of the fact that my time is running out. The dichotomy of savoring every second while simultaneously preparing for what's next is the strangest feeling.

I've had ADHD my whole life, but it became official about a year ago. Let's talk about it.

In this post, I reflect on the impact of my Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) minor and how it shaped me into a more critical thinker, empathetic citizen, and collaborative learner. From challenging conventional perspectives to navigating the dynamic political climate at UNC, PPE was the intellectual grounding that kept me sane throughout college. While it may not directly align with my career path, the lessons I learned from exploring interconnected systems and diverse viewpoints have profoundly influenced how I approach decision-making, problem-solving, and even voting. This minor wasn’t just an academic pursuit—it was a personal investment.

"Am I doing enough? Did I take the right classes? Did I get the right internships? Is my resume good enough? Am I a competitive enough candidate?" If you've ever asked yourself any of these questions, keep this in mind...

Rejection can feel like the end, but often, it’s a redirection to where you’re truly meant to be. In this post, I share my journey of being rejected from UNC's Kenan-Flagler Business School—not once, but twice—and how that experience ultimately led me to the Hussman School of Journalism and Media. What once felt like failure turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me. If you’re facing rejection today, remember: it’s not the end, just a new beginning.

My parents strapped me into a pair of skis at the ripe age of 3, and I’ve been tree skiing and hitting jumps out West for well over a decade. To put it modestly, I feel pretty confident in my abilities. I’d never, in a million years, think I’d be writing about tearing my ACL on a casual trip with friends—on a green run, no less.

Studying abroad sounded like a dream come true, but Barcelona had more in store for me than I’d planned. From cultural challenges to surprising connections, nothing could have prepared me for how much I’d grow along the way.

At 10, I had a bold vision for my future—New York, fashion, and more. Now, over a decade later, I find myself on an unexpected path that’s bringing that dream closer than I ever thought possible. Curious how it all comes full circle? Read on to discover the journey behind my fashion aspirations and how they're shaping my next steps.

Ever wondered what it’s like to navigate college without a roadmap? As a first-generation student, I had to figure it all out on my own—from the small, everyday hurdles to the big, defining moments. In this blog, I share my personal journey of tackling the unknown, finding my own way, and the unexpected lessons I’ve learned along the way.

Growing up, I learned early that if you want to achieve anything, you have to work for it—no shortcuts, no excuses. "ME v. ME" is my story—a raw exploration of the constant battle between who I am and who I want to be. It’s a journey through ambition, self-doubt, and the pressure of always striving for more.
