About McKenna Hampson

I’m a senior at LIM College majoring in Fashion Merchandising. Over the past few years, I’ve gained experience in retail, wholesale, and campus events, which has given me a solid understanding of consumer trends and brand strategy. From supporting showroom appointments to helping run campus store operations, I’ve learned how fashion connects both creatively and strategically.I’m especially drawn to public relations, buying, and product development because these areas allow me to merge creativity with business. I enjoy working with teams, building relationships, and finding ways to bring value to both brands and customers.As I approach graduation, I’m looking forward to the next step in my career where I can continue to learn, contribute, and grow in the fashion industry.
