When did you start at FBI?

I started at FBI in February 2019.

Are you enjoying it so far?

I love FBI, itā€™s really fun.

What has been a highlight so far?

I think a highlight has been getting a call from Natasha, and being like ā€œCan you work tomorrow?ā€ And Iā€™m like ā€œOk!ā€ for one of the warehouse sales. Itā€™s really good. Youā€™re meeting other people. Youā€™re also learning so much but also at the same time youā€™re giving back. Youā€™re showing you can work and can do all this other stuff as well.

Have you done a lot of workplace training since youā€™ve been here?

Iā€™ve done the Camilla and Marc warehouse sale and also the Rachel Gilbert one.

Do you have a favourite?

Definitely Rachel Gilbert so far. The clothing is so beautiful. Itā€™s so lovely working with all these new people all the time.

So, youā€™re doing business and design?

Yes.

Where do you see yourself in the future?

I see myself doing a one-stop-shop for brides. So, where I can do bridal couture and also event planning, specialised in weddings and Iā€™ve always loved weddings, so I want to pursue a career in that.

Who is your style inspiration/people you look up to or like to follow?

I love Vera Wang. Sheā€™s my idol. Ever since I was a kid ā€“ Iā€™m still a kid ā€“ and I just love everything that Chanel does. Itā€™s so simple and iconic and just so timeless. I love it.

If you had to describe it, whatā€™s your style aesthetic/vibe?

My vibe is chic, when I want it but sometimes itā€™s really street style, relaxed. Activewear??

Always. Always activewear.

Hahaha yeah, so I guess that.

Are you looking forward to anything this Term?

Pattern making in Design and in Business, thereā€™s a few classes Iā€™ve been meaning to do like planning for success and a few more but canā€™t remember them.

If you could give any advice to give someone who was thinking about coming to FBI, based on your experience, what would you tell them?

Donā€™t hesitate on it. Itā€™s honestly the best experience Iā€™ve gotten and Iā€™m so excited for everything else to come. Itā€™s only been one Term and Iā€™m so excited for the next three more to come.
