Chasing your dreams is not easy. This graduate experience challenged me far beyond the lessons taught at MFI. Immersed in an international environment alongside students from around the world who shared the same passion for fashion, beauty, and luxury, I quickly learned that no two experiences are the same. This diversity of perspective reshaped how I see the industry and my place within it, preparing me to approach its challenges with confidence and clarity.

Through the Master’s in Luxury, the professors at MFI consistently pushed us to analyze the true meaning of luxury and how its value is created. This mindset has directly shaped the way I work today, particularly operating influencer-side within brand partnerships where authenticity and strategy must coexist. With a strong emphasis on collaboration and real-world application, MFI prepared me not only for the career I envisioned, but for the role I proudly hold today.
