Education & Experience

A Global Education in Business, Sustainability, & Fashion

I’m pursuing a Master’s in Sustainable Fashion Management at SUMAS in Milan, Italy—a city where fashion, innovation, and sustainability naturally intersect. Studying at one of the world’s leading sustainability institutions has given me a global perspective on how brands can balance creativity, ethics, and business strategy in a rapidly evolving industry. The program has provided me with a strong foundation in global sustainability frameworks, including CSR, GRI, ISO 14001, B Corp Certification, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. I’ve also explored forward-thinking fashion strategies, including regenerative design, cradle-to-cradle design, and zero-waste design. This international experience is preparing me to craft responsible, cross-border solutions that lead to meaningful, lasting change.

Before this, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Integrated Business from the University of Central Florida, where I developed a strong foundation in marketing, supply chain management, and business strategy. My passion for problem-solving and innovation grew through projects that tackled real-world business challenges, preparing me to think both critically and creatively.

Exploring Sustainability Through Research & Strategy

Through my master’s program, I conducted in-depth brand analyses and developed strategic sustainability initiatives with real-world impact. Some of my key projects include:

International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Research—As a Student Researcher, I examined the role of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) across fashion, manufacturing, and agriculture—identifying strategic investment opportunities and recommending focus areas for the IUCN to maximize its impact.

Spotlight S.C. — In collaboration with my classmates, I developed a comprehensive sustainability strategy for Spotlight S.C., an Italy-based lighting company specializing in entertainment and architectural solutions. We created a full-scope plan, identifying opportunities to embed sustainability into every aspect of their operations, from supply chain to marketing. Our recommendations are now being used to transform the company into a more sustainable business.

Ralph Lauren Sustainability Strategy Project – Developed strategic solutions to help the brand enhance ethical sourcing, reduce environmental impact, and improve supply chain transparency, with a focus on water conservation, energy efficiency, and sustainable material use. The project emphasized aligning these initiatives with long-term brand value and industry leadership.

Chloé & Patagonia Case Studies – Examining how these industry leaders incorporate sustainability into their business models, supply chains, and brand messaging, and how their efforts contribute to long-term brand equity.

Khy: A Fictional Sustainable Collection—Conceptualized and developed a sustainability-driven collection for Kylie Jenner’s fashion brand, Khy. I reimagined its supply chain, material sourcing, and transparency practices to evolve it into a more ethical and future-focused brand.

Rivesto: A Circular Fashion Model – Created a conceptual circular fashion platform that redefines resale by integrating sustainable clothing options tailored to customer needs. The model focuses on extending the lifecycle of garments, promoting responsible consumption, and reducing waste in the fashion industry.

Professional Experience Across Industries

Blending experience in real estate and marketing, I’ve seen firsthand how strategic storytelling and brand positioning can drive connection, trust, and long-term growth:

Real Estate Broker – As a real estate broker working with a portfolio of over 1,000 properties, I developed a strong understanding of how data-driven strategy, client relationships, and brand positioning contribute to long-term business growth. I conducted risk assessments, identified value opportunities, and helped establish KPIs to track performance and support informed decision-making. Collaborating across teams, I saw how clear metrics could drive accountability, sharpen focus, and improve overall outcomes. This experience deepened my appreciation for strategic planning and the role of thoughtful measurement in achieving real business impact.

Marketing Coordinator at Primera Plastic Surgery – Led content strategy and digital marketing efforts focusing on SEO, social media, and email campaigns. This role deepened my understanding of how to build authentic brand engagement online and sparked my interest in the beauty industry. Through hands-on experience optimizing landing pages, crafting targeted messaging, and refining visual content, I became especially drawn to how digital strategy can elevate beauty brands and connect with audiences meaningfully.

Marketing Intern at Auritas SAP Consulting – Created and managed website content, digital outreach, and B2B marketing for campaigns reaching 50,000+ participants. This role sharpened my skills in effective communication and introduced me to platforms like Salesforce, Pardot, Constant Contact, Excel, and WordPress. It sparked my interest in digital marketing and gave me a solid foundation in using data and content strategy to drive engagement in a business setting.
