Favorite Quote: “Re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul. And your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in the words, but in the silent lines of the lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes, and in every motion and joint of your body.” –Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass
Brief Bio about yourself: I stumbled into my position at CMT, quite serendipitously, just 6 months ago. After obtaining my BFA in Costume Design and 7 years of post-college job surfing, I think I may have found my perfect wave! Free spirited and entrepreneurial at my core, I’ve launched a small, boutique clothing line “Kittenish Clothing”, and currently I am working on a couture inspired, one of kind clothing line, “Couturiette”. While pursuing my creative ventures, I have paid my bills working in corporate fashion design, retail management and even as a part time Starbucks barista! I live happily ever after with the love of my life, our two kitties and a baby girl, due in September.
