This is an article by the University of Texas at Arlington Library about both my work in the FabLab and my  win of the Mav Pitch Business Pitch competition. 

My Junior year of undergrad I participated in the University of Texas at Arlington pitch contest MavPitch. I placed in the first round and then won second place in the finals. 

I created  a renaissance dress (pictured to the left) for the thespian festival. I made mainstage the highest honor at the Texas thespian festival, and then medaled at nationals. The costume construction contest works by having you pick a pattern and create a garment for under a hundred dollars. The garment is then judged based on construction quality.  

Fort Bend ISD is the school district I attended for my K-12 education. After making mainstage at Texas thespian festival they wrote an article about my sewing. 

My senior year of high school I was chosen as one of the national students of the month for Jostens Renaissance. Jostens Renaissance is a national organization that creates leadership course  and conferences for students.

The neighborhood I grew up in published an article about my sewing in their monthly magazine. I was the cover story and it was delivered to all the residents of the neighborhood. 

I created an evil sorceress costume for the Texas Renaissance festival. Texas Ren Fest is the largest renaissance festival in the United states. I place second in the school day costume contest, where students from all over Texas traveled to compete.
