What does "fashion" mean to you?
"Fashion means expressing yourself in a way that people can understand you better. It means being able to put on a loose top and a pair of leggings if you’re feeling lazy or dressing to the nines for a girls night out. It’s an expression of yourself and your mood in my opinion."

How would you describe your style?
"I would describe my style as comfy-chic. I like to be able to put an outfit together in five minutes or less. I am a college student with a part-time job and trying to have a social life. I don’t have time to spend 45 minutes every day deciding what I am going to wear. If I can take an outfit and change it with different pieces to make it a completely new outfit, it’s a good day."
Who are your style icons? What inspires your style?
"My style icons would be Amanda Seyfried and Anne Hathaway. They’re timeless beauties with a great personality and a classic/couture style. They can dress comfortable and classy while still maintaining that celebrity appearance.They are two role models that have also maintained themselves throughout their career which I have been inspired by."

How has your idea of fashion changed since working at Plato's Closet?
"Well, I have Plato’s to thank for my wardrobe. Everything in my closet has come from PC, or has been inspired by something I have seen at PC. It’s amazing how much I have changed my style from working at Plato’s. It’s great to be able to see what comes in here and make it your own. Being able to have coworkers that are knowledgeable on fashion trends and also inspire your wardrobe is also rewarding."
Where are your favorite places to shop (besides Plato's)?
" As many of you know, my favorite place to shop would be Goodwill. I have been named the “Goodwill Master”. I can’t go into a Goodwill and not find a one-of-a-kind find. I get such a thrill from finding a vintage skirt or even a classic blazer for such a bargain. It’s amazing to see one man’s trash is another man’s treasure."
