Hi! My name is Lizzie Quezada Cepin, I am majoring in Business and Technology of Fashion. I am very into fashion and love spending my free time thrifting and shopping for clothes. I find a lot of inspiration from different artists, films, shows, and old magazines. One of the reasons why I chose City Tech is because it offers a major that follows both fields I would like to get into which are Fashion and Business, plus I get to explore the nice surrounding areas around campus. One of my goals is to become more social and outspoken with others and share my passion for fashion with other peers who are in the same field as me!
Nice to meet you, Lizzie! Although I don’t really know much about the Fashion and Business program at this college, I’m sure you’ll accomplish great things!
