Tell us about yourself!

Hi! I’m Sara Kunkel and I am SWATCH’s Managing Editor this year. I am studying apparel merchandising with a minor in journalism. I grew up outside of D.C. in Northern VA but now reside with my family in Orlando FL. 

What does your dream job in fashion look like?

My dream job in fashion would have to be working within the realm of fashion journalism. I would love to create, write and style for magazines and/or PR companies’ and their representative brands.

What inspired you to study fashion in college & why?

Ever since I can remember I’ve always been infatuated with clothes, aesthetics, details, and the written word. I love to read and write equally as much as I love fashion and styling so apparel merchandising and journalism just made perfect sense to me. I felt called to this major ever since I considered college academia and I’m so happy I’ve found it! 

What are you most excited about for SWATCH this upcoming school year?

This year I’m excited to start building up SWATCH’s brand identity, getting more people’s voices heard, and having more involvement on campus. This is such a special platform and I think with the amazing team we have this year SWATCH is going to thrive!
