This month, I am celebrating a career milestone! 10 years of teaching and mentorship with fashion and art direction students and alumni. ๐ฅณโจ๐
Eternally grateful to
@simonungless who noticed I had moved back to California in 2014, and slid into my inbox to chat. Thank you for seeing these skills in me before I saw them myself. โค๏ธ I spent two years full-time teaching on campus. From styling techniques to concept development and in-class photoshoots, my courses were always hands on, never a dull moment, and sooo much fun! I think Iโve hand written and updated at least six courses since then.
Teaching has never felt like work. I love providing light, inspiration, and guidance to those who have big dreams, but may not know how to navigate them. To my alumni: our network is fierce! Being connected with my former students and alumni has been invaluable. We are always supporting one another!
The photos in this carousel are just some from the first two years (tagged extra folks too)! I know I will always teach and mentor in some capacity. Itโs not only part of my astrology chart, itโs one of the most fulfilling and selfless things Iโve done. Hereโs to many more! ๐งก๐
