This became the norm to the extent that I began waking up on my own.  Years passed of horrible middle school outfits, and I developed a passion for business in high school. I turned this passion into a career pathway by majoring in Business Marketing at Loyola Marymount University. Throughout three months of Summer break in 2024, I decided to intern for a Fashion PR company called BLK PR, and I confirmed my deep interest in business fashion, built strong connections with my bosses, and grew excited over what my future holds. This excitement leads to my current position &#8212; wanting to be out of college to begin my career. So, this summer, I am taking two classes in order to do just that and graduate early. Not only do I want a head start over my peers, but I am itching to meet people within the industries and begin to make a living doing what I love, rather than paying for something I have to be doing. Once I am out of college, I hope to move to New York and find a Fashion PR\/ Marketing role or stay in LA and work for my old boss! One day, I hope to create my own fashion marketing company for prestigious brands! <\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Lily McConnell, and I am the president of RUNWAY HAUS.
