RESUME

What do you do?I'm a fashion stylist and journalist. Both terms are used to describe all aspects of published fashion media. For journalism it includes writers, critics, reporters and bloggers. For example, fashion features in magazine, newspapers, online publications; such as websites and blogs. Duties include writing, editing, producing content and styling fashion shoots. A lot of my time is spent researching, conducting interviews, and coordinating with creative/art directors, photographers, designers, public relations representative and editors.When did you start your career?Over five years ago I styled my first fashion show and photo shoot. After that I took off to London, England to receive more training, then graduated with a degree in Textile and Clothing from Seattle Pacific University. I began a blog which developed into an online video magazine. After that I started booking clients - like designers, magazine, lifestyle, beauty, and high profile people.Why did you choose journalism and styling?I love journalism and fashion styling, its what excites me!! I love getting to do this as my career. What journalism means to me, is the opportunity to have a positive impact on others and use it as a vessel to help improve the quality of life. I'm not about wasteful, materialistic fashion and beauty, its about empowering people, and influencing them to aspire to greatness.Where do you typically work from?Out of my studio in Los Angeles or on location. I'm in Orange County a lot because my family is there. Balance is really important!! I travel up and down the coast whenever I can and am looking forward to doing more traveling. How did you get your big break?Honestly, by building lasting relationships with people and working really hard. Nothing is ever just handed over, you still have to work hard at it, to be good at it and be a constant student to fashion. The learning never ends. You pick a career because you know you love spending you time working it! That's the real secret!What titles do you current hold?Editor in Chief of The Stylist Handbook, and Fashion Editor of LIVE Publishing Inc. of Orange County, Long Beach and Los Angeles Magazine. Contributor for LOSMAG.com, PolarisCosmetics.com, StudioDNASalon.com, PRCouture.com, PhotoCrew.com and more.
