Hey guys! Welcome to the spring semester of my Style Guru internship. My name is Paulina, also known as Lina, and this is my third semester interning for CollegeFashionista! I would first like to thank my friend, Jennifer, who introduced me to CollegeFashionista and continuously encouraged me to apply for a Style Guru position. The experience I have gained thus far has boosted my confidence and creativity.
I was born and raised in Queens, New York. I’m an extremely passionate individual and this city is the reason behind it. I love fashion, style, health and adventure. I know you’re probably thinking fashion and style are the same thing! Over the years I’ve noticed they aren’t; style is personal and fashion is universal. In junior high, I became aware that style and fashion go hand in hand, but didn’t realize the impact it would have on my life. This is a way I express myself and create art everyday.
Today, I attend Hunter College where I am majoring in psychology and minoring in women studies. Interning for CollegeFashionista helped me tap into my creative skills; writing, photography and style. The joy and enthusiasm I have when I’m working on an article and campaign brought me to the realization that this is where I belong. I often daydream of how I can combine my interest for psychology and fashion; I recently discovered a career called fashion psychology (just my luck!). I am eager to continue this journey with CollegeFashionista’s team and community. I encourage you all to go after the education/career that tugs at your heart. You never know what you will gain!
