ABOUT THE WRITER

The fine arts give color and expression to all seasons of life. The persistence of literature in human history is one of its characteristics I most admire. People cannot live without stories any less than water or air. Fashion is another form of storytelling, only with thread and silhouettes.

 My primary focus is to strengthen my abilities in marketing, analytics, and fashion merchandising. I am set to attend Rutgers Masters of Science in Business of Fashion Program in the Fall 0f 2025. This is a pivotal step for me to achieve my goal of being a supply chain and merchandising officer of a luxury house.

I graduated high school a year in advance via The Keystone School to accelerate my academic and professional trajectory. I’m pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree in English at St. John’s University. This coming May 2025 I will graduate. From there, my goals are to expand experience and transition into the field of Fashion Business. Currently, I’m searching for summer internship opportunities in fashion that will allow me to learn, contribute my assets as a worker, and prepare myself for a career.

“Nothing different, Americano,” he laughs and ignites the pipe with a sharp flicker, surveying me through the gauze of a glassy stare.

His loft seemed to house more glass articles from the last time I’d seen it, they’d multiplied like a colony of cells. Morgante dismissed my observation, and continued launching plumes of smoke into the air, a silent declaration that the atmosphere belonged to him and his pipe.

The lone digit hours of the early morning drew near, like a slow...

“Moonage Daydream:” Universal’s Newest Masterpiece

In glorious cinematic chaos, “Moonage Daydream” illustrates the artistic evolution of rock pioneer David Bowie. The musical montage focuses on three stages of Bowie’s discography: beginning during the early 1970s Ziggy Stardust era, followed by Bowie’s tenure in Germany working on compilation album, “The Berlin Trilogy” and arcs during his 1980s dance rock period.

Rather than conforming to a standard chronology, the film instead bounces from hotel rooms to limousines to recording studios. The f

The Real Bling Ring - Unabridged Review

After watching Miles Blayden-Ryall’s mini docu series, The Real Bling Ring: Hollywood Heist you may ask how three, four, at times seven inexperienced bandits got away with raiding Hollywood’s wealthiest celebrity estates—more than once. The Los Angeles Police Department was asking themselves the same question when they began uncovering the criminal activity of a group of Valley teens and young adults arrested in 2009. If you add up the numbers, of which there are many, the individuals notoriously known as “The Bling Ring” in pop culture looted over $3 million dollars worth of cash, jewelry, and designer items from celebrity addresses they found online.
