I recently got the chance to work backstage at the ON/OFF shows at London Fashion Week, which was an incredible experience.

This opportunity allowed me an exciting insight into the life of a designer and educated me on the methods of show production.

Responsibilities included teaching basic I.T skills; Microsoft Word and Excel; to eight adolescent girls in the village and providing support for teachers in local primary schools. Also arranging and managing English language classes for children who usually carry out manual labour. I also carried out weekly community visits and meetings and achieved a certificate from the company verifying my participation. The role also allowed me to experience the culture and sights of India.
Interests:
My foremost passion is for fashion, especially Haute Couture, designing and the industry as a whole. The idea of creating garments and styling them has been a fascination of mine since a young age and since starting a fashion design course at the AIB I have extended my interests into pattern cutting and trend forecasting.
I am a keen musician, studying the Cello and Piano, and I have studied Ballet and Character dance from a young age, following the Royal Academy of Dance examination. I also have a love of travelling and love learning about other cultures, which was furthered during my gap year when I visited India, Western and Eastern Europe and North Africa.
I am also the Student Representative for the FDA Fashion course at the Arts Institute and a Student Ambassador for the University.
