"HOMETOWN: Bronx, NY\n\nCOLLEGE: SUNY College at Buffalo and Fashion Institute of Technology\n\nMAJOR: Fashion Merchandising, Textile Technology, and Advertising and Marketing Communications\n\nBIG BREAK: Landing an internship at Teen Vogue\n\nAs a fashion assistant at Teen Vogue, I have many responsibilities on a day-to-day basis: I mentor the interns who dedicate their time to learning what goes on in this industry, and I also maintain and organize the fashion closet. The best part of my job is that I get a sneak preview of every piece that goes into the magazine\u2014I get the opportunity to see how stories come together from start to finish, all while having a hand in the process!\n\nBefore working at Teen Vogue, I completed a three-in-one program to obtain a dual degree\u2014this meant three years at SUNY College at Buffalo for a bachelor's degree in fashion merchandising and textile technology and one year at the Fashion Institute of Technology, where I earned an Associate degree in advertising and marketing communications.\n\nMy entr\u00E9e into the fashion world included internships at Tractenberg PR, Diane von Furstenberg, and W magazine. I also worked as an assistant at New York Fashion Week, where I first met Teen Vogue's fashion market editor, Mary Kate Steinmiller. I ran into her after a show and told her how much I loved the styling of the Teen Vogue pages. She complimented my style and handed me her business card, suggesting I e-mail her about a potential internship. Though I was interning elsewhere at the time, I kept in touch with Mary Kate, and when I was finally available for an internship, I contacted her, scored an interview, and was hired.\n\nTeen Vogue has allowed me to understand the process of putting together a shoot from beginning to end: from the trend boards to the finished spreads. I love the creativity and artistic nature of the profession. Working with the incredible team here, I have grown to enjoy styling more and more and hope to work as a stylist one day."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
