Emma Kolakowski
Consulting Intern
Summary
I am currently a rising Senior at Fordham University, and am expecting to graduate in May 2021.
With the research and analytical skills I've developed from studying English, I'm looking to pursue a more communications-based route for my early career.
Paired with the knowledge I've gained on the fashion industry and the experience I've gained from pursuing Fordham's Fashion Studies minor, I am hoping to build upon my background in retail and sales to move into the world of fashion marketing and merchandising following my graduation.
