“I came from a business background; my first degree

is in Business Administration. I’ve always wanted to
do something related to fashion but I didn’t want to
be a designer because I think I’m more orientated to
being a businesswoman.
I was looking for the right knowledge to start and needed practical
experience as well as theory. This course was perfect.”
