From late nights working on graphic design to organising launch events to promote the magazine- I can say with confidence that MODO has become my passion project and as the current Editor-in-Chief, I would be honoured to continue on my journey working on the magazine! 

Two years ago I joined MODO as an Editing Executive and absolutely fell in love with it and in September 2022 I was lucky enough to become Editor of MODO Magazine and have worked very closely with the committee these past two years. I am very familiar with the inner workings of the magazine and society and the hard work it takes and believe that this close understanding of the role brings me a unique advantage.

The major changes that I have implemented to MODO Mag in the last 2 years include the following:

⁃ Printing the MODO Magazine for the first time (and forming a relationship with the printing shop so we can do this for all future editions)

⁃ More professional digital presentation of the magazine by using Issu rather than Google Slides

⁃ Focus on better graphic design quality and use of more professional programs such as Adobe InDesign

- Organising and taking part in the first ever MODO Magazine Launch event and Fashion Show! 

I intend to carry on all of these things I have implemented and continue to form MODO into a highly professional, reputable student fashion magazine. I have also orchestrated multiple brand and industry connections with the magazine and would love to focus on a career section of the next edition to help students form
