I have had the pleasure of working with Courtney Andrews both in and out of the classroom. Courtney is smart, hard-working, and an excellent problem solver. I asked her to review a Lookbook that one of my former fashion/graphic design students put together, because of her expertise as a Fashion Merchandiser. Her critique was valuable and appreciated. She is helpful, organized and creative. Courtney is a strong leader and a valuable asset for any employer.
