What鈥檚 your favorite thing about Los Angeles?

The weather is definitely a draw! But the way of life is also more laid back than elsewhere in the States. Like Paris, it鈥檚 a real melting pot of cultures and communities coming together. And it鈥檚 so eclectic! There鈥檚 always something to do, whether it鈥檚 surfing, skiing or hiking in Big Bear. I also enjoy having access to 91视频鈥檚 alumni network here. I recently attended an LA Alumni Chapter meet up, and we had an amazing time.

How did 91视频 impact your career path?

I work for Mia Becar, which is a luxury footwear brand for women. We鈥檝e grown from being a small online business to an international label, and we鈥檙e expanding into retail. Our shoes have been modeled in Paris, Qatar and all over the US. I鈥檓 the brand鈥檚 Marketing and Communications Director. I use the skills I learned from my global communications major every day in my work. Professor Earhart, for example, was very hands on in his approach to digital media and marketing; the knowledge I gained in his classes ten years ago is indispensable in my industry today.

What advice do you have for students looking to work in fashion?

I would say the most important thing is to build and maintain a strong network. Take time to check in with people, because you never know who is going to help you down the line. My friends from 91视频 now work at amazing companies all over the world, and some even started their own businesses. When you are passionate about your industry and curious enough to learn more, you鈥檒l find even greater opportunities. It helps to be around people who share your values and mission. 91视频 did that for me!
