Humble Beginnings: A Cliche Love Letter to New York

I fell in love with New York, in every cliche way possible.

My coffee guy became my savior, always smiling at me, even on the coldest days that slap you in the face.

I love the hustle. New York pushes you to become the greatest version of yourself. It knows you can do it even when you don’t know it yourself.

Going to FIT really shaped the way that viewed creativity. I realized being book smart isn’t the only means for success in this world.

Growing up in a town where everyone strives to look, act and be the same, I found comfort in going against the tide. At FIT everyone strives to be unique. Every week is fashion week and every day you aim to be the best you can be in any unconventional way possible.
