who is Nina?
Welcome!
I’m currently completing my degree as an Honors student at NC State, where I’ve gained a comprehensive education in the full lifecycle of fashion — from the science of yarn formation to the strategic marketing of the final garment. My academic foundation is matched by real-world industry experience that has shaped me into a well-rounded, motivated, and adaptable professional.
Industry Experience Highlights:
Upcoming Intern at New York Fashion Week 2025
Sales Associate at ALO Yoga, providing tailored customer experiences aligned with a performance lifestyle brand
Social Media Intern at Fashion Index, supporting digital strategy and content creation
Former Sales Associate, promoted to Sales Supervisor at Michael Kors, leading team performance and client engagement
Events and Social Media Intern at Fab’rik, planning brand activations and managing digital platforms
Bridal Stylist at Bella Bridesmaids, offering personalized styling for high-stakes events
Formative & Global Experiences:
Studied abroad in Florence, Italy (Spring 2025), gaining first-hand insight into global fashion culture and European design aesthetics
Participated in the NRF Foundation Student Program (NYC, Jan 2024), networking with retail leaders and receiving mentorship from top executives
Earned DCC Certification through NC State’s Global Training Initiative, completing an intensive international co-curricular program
I’m passionate about using fashion as a vehicle to empower others — whether through functionality, beauty, inclusivity, or craftsmanship. I believe great clothing helps people feel seen, strong, and confident.
I’m currently exploring entry-level opportunities in Fashion Marketing, Buying, Merchandising, Styling, or Brand Management as I prepare to graduate in May 2026. I bring a strong work ethic, a collaborative spirit, and an entrepreneurial mindset to every project I take on — no task is too small when it contributes to something great.
