During my time at Cal Poly Pomona, I’ve gained hands-on experience in key areas of the fashion industry, including textiles, retail buying, apparel digital design, brand development, and brand promotion. These skills have given me a comprehensive understanding of how products are created, marketed, and sold.

I conducted independent research, guided by a mentor, on consumer behavior surrounding secondhand clothing in the Hispanic Gen Z community. This project involved interviewing participants, analyzing data, and writing a extensive research journal. I also had the opportunity to present my findings to an audience, deepening my understanding of both the research process and the unique consumer trends within this demographic.
