What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
I enjoy all the different kinds of people that you meet. It feels like a full circle.
If you work with someone at an internship or a previous job, even though it might seem like a big industry, it's really not. Being able to connect again with those people and share the journey together is really great.
And then also, the fashion shows are a fun part. Getting involved with different kinds of people and events is also enjoyable.
