But more so I also recommend her as an advisor in strategic career advancement for young artists and designers to become established in the Manhattan fashion business and show milieu.

She is sharp to motivate and inform the client of their potential next step and goals informing them of the accompanying legal steps to make this growth in their careers and legalization. She was so knowledgeable about the steps a former student of mine would need to get ready for the next fashion week. I would highly recommend her to any young FIT graduates and professionals already in the fashion industry as she is so quick to network and supply industry names she has personally set up a relationship with.”
