My name is Lindsey Martin, and I am currently a freshman at the Fashion Institute of Technology.

This semester I am attending classes remotely via virtual meetings. I am a fashion design major so having the necessary materials for my classes is very important. Thankfully, I have most of the supplies I need at home, but I might occasionally make trips to the studios and labs they are providing us access to on campus.

As well as being present for class, I am gratefully maintaining my jobs working in a boutique, New York Dolls in Mount Kisco, working as a hostess at a local restaurant, and my online clothing store next2nothing.shop. While COVID may have relayed some setbacks for the fall semester, I feel blessed that I can still keep busy in a safe environment.
