I was born and raised in Hughesville, PA. I’ve been sewing my entire life. I enjoy all forms of art and have won numerous awards: first and second place ribbons for photography and paintings and the Frances Hunter Tipton Award for Illustration.

I am currently attending the International Academy of Design and Technology in Tampa and have a 3.84 G.P.A. I will graduate December 2010 with a BFA in Fashion Design. I design all styles of clothing but particularly like to design contemporary clothes, cocktail dresses and bridal gowns.

Right now I am interning with Ralph Lauren in NYC; I came to Model Mayhem to find photographers and models interested in working together for portfolio development.
