Derek Long Email & Phone Number

I am an enthusiast of fashion in which I developed as I transitioned from my senior year of high school to my freshman year of college. I have always been fascinated by the idea of wearing different colors and patterns as a kid but wearing a school uniform was mandatory which hindered me from expressing myself through clothing at a young age. In my opinion, everyone should find more ways to express themselves that will benefit them both personally and financially. Although I do not have work experience in business related to clothing/retail, I have worked with children, as a way to build up my work experience and expand my career choices. I have worked at different elementary schools and day cares for summer camp programs under Marrion S. Berry's Summer Youth Employment Program. In college, I received my associates degree in business technology, maintained a GPA of 3.0 or higher and I am apart of my school's national honors society for my outstanding academic performance.I enjoy expressing myself through photography as well. I incorporate my latest styles into the photos I upload on my social media accounts Instagram and Facebook. The sole purpose of this is to build up my confidence, an audience, and a successful career after I graduate from college. Getting a bachelors degree in Business Management will help me get my future career as business owner in clothing/retail off the ground. Once I have my second degree I can take full advantage of my love for fashion and turn it in a career that will support my lifestyle in the future.
