CFC x Thread Zine

Jackie is a Fashion Design Management major from Larchmont, NY. During her freshman year, she joined Cornell Fashion Industry Network in an attempt to gain experience and mentorship. CFIN quickly became her most valuable resource, as the older students helped her network with industry leaders and even secure her first internship. As the current President of CFIN, Jackie now has impressive work experience at brands such as Andrew Marc and American Eagle Outfitters, where she will be returning next year to work in Merchandising.

She has also held internships at an integrated marketing firm and advertising agency. In this leadership role at CFIN, she strives to create a supportive environment in which members can “explore their interest areas,” “realize their aspirations,” and “connect with a multitude of students who share similar goals.” Although fashion is a major part of her life (she will never stop hunting for the perfect leather jacket), Jackie also has a deep-rooted passion for traveling and immersing herself in different cultures. In fact, it is this passion for people and cultures that initially drew her to fashion, as she sees expression through clothing as a way for people to tell their own stories. Additionally, Jackie is also a Research Assistant for the Cornell Costume and Textile Collection and the Cornell Student Ambassador for the National Retail Federation.
