Hi, I’m Abi! I'm pursuing a BFA in Fashion Merchandising with a minor in Creative Writing at Belmont University. I am currently serving as the Retail Intern at Cheekwood Botanical Gardens, where I am sharpening my skills in retail buying and visual merchandising. I also serve as the Vice President of The Women’s Network Belmont, where I promote networking opportunities and collaborative events for young professionals on campus. My occupational background includes experience as the Digital Intern for Tractor Supply Co. and the Product Flow Specialist at Urban Outfitters, and I was recently made a semi-finalist for The National Retail Federation’s Next Generation Scholarship. Passionate about sustainability, I aspire to contribute to initiatives that promote ethical sourcing, waste reduction, and fair labor practices. My ultimate goal is to play a meaningful role in leaving the retail industry better than I found it, with authenticity and creativity at the heart of every role.
