“I was taught very directly all the skills I would need to start my career in the fashion industry - and I gained great mentorship on how to navigate starting my career. I really enjoyed preparing all of our final projects - especially for the Adobe Creative Suite courses.

Those projects challenged me to apply the skills I had learned into an organized creative document, and made me see how far I had come. I also always enjoyed seeing my classmates present their work - and seeing how much they had progressed.”

Additionally, she is organized, dependable, and incredibly hard-working. I witnessed Robyn’s fierce commitment to operating with honesty and diplomacy as she navigated complex and unpredictable company processes daily. “

I would describe her as trustworthy and responsible.”
