Day to Day
I answer a lot of emails pertaining to the PR side of Marketing and events. I write and schedule graphics for the blogs since we post at least two blogs about fashion, DIY tips and recipes a day. I also monitor the analytics of the sponsorships we work with, which is actually a lot more interesting than it sounds, I promise! It's so interesting to be able to see what it takes for a company to run and be successful. Everything I've learned working in Fashion will take me far within my career.
Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for college students
Pay attention to your intuition. Ask yourself what you want, not only from your career, but what you want out of your lifestyle. Your first step towards anything is holding onto your passion. That passion is what will take you far. Passion is what you will use to pull you through the really tough times. When you live your life passionately, you chose a very interesting life. In return, you chose a very difficult life. But as cliche as it sounds, that is definitely a life worth living.
