I have been designing clothing and costumes since the late 1980s. I have my AAS degree in Fashion Merchandising and Marketing from Alamance Community College, my BS degree in Clothing & Textiles from Appalachian State University, my MAT deg
ree in Family & Consumer Sciences Education from North Carolina A & T University, and my PhD in Consumer, Apparel, Retail Studies from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Obviously that makes me a Carolina girl (which also explains my daughter’s name)! I have been teaching fashion and interior design for 13 years at both the high school and post-secondary level. Please contact me if you have any specific fashion or interiors needs: from pattern making, design, creating, styling, or image consulting!
