Personality: She is a very organized person and sometimes has a little trouble unbuttoning at the end of the day but also comes across very pleasant and relaxed. She can sometimes be a bit awkward, trying too hard to fit in when she feels out of place. Mild issues with insecurity but usually nothing that is troublesome. She tends to need a little help from friends to get her to really cut loose.

Back Ground: Corina fell in love with fashion at a young age, when she started watching Project Runway. She was enamored by all of the colors and the different ways the designers sculpted and draped fabrics. She spent her youth sketching away in books and dreaming.

It took a lot of bolstering from her parents and her younger brother Caleb, but they managed to convince her to pursue her dream and she applied to Parsons in New York for college. To her astonishment she got in and so off to college she went. The reality of design was a lot harder than she had ever thought, though.

Before she got to Parsons she had only dabbled with her mother's sewing machine and hand stitching. She'd never actually made anything complex or intricate. Just assembled basic patterns. It was a harsh reality trying to keep up with everyone else. The designs in her sketchbook were stunning but she couldn't put them together with her own hands. At least not on the rapid timetables of the classes they were all taking.

By the end of the third term, Corina had washed out at Parsons with her dreams of becoming a designer feeling crushed. She did luck out some in that she made a couple of good friends. That led to her getting a job in an upscale boutique where she flourished for a while. She knew her fashion and had an eye for pairing clients to style.

Eventually, someone noticed her and passed her name along and she was recruited to work at the highly esteemed 'The Curated', Christian Siriano's infamous New York boutique. She loves her job there, but some part of her still feels unfulfilled. She has drawers of full sketchbooks with unrealized designs. She also hasn't had much of a life outside her job, only going on the occasional outing with her friends. As a dare they somehow managed to convince her to apply for the show and here she is.

Likes: Fashion, dancing, spicy food, music, reading trashy romance novels, hiking.

Dislikes: Sour things, men that like to act tough (the super alpha macho types), if you have to make a show of it, just no. Excessively hot weather.

Weaknesses: I can be a little OCD sometimes. Self-confidence (where big dreams are concerned).

Fears: Flying and spiders.

Fun Facts: I use to draw caricatures on the weekends to make extra money.

The Perfect Person for You: Confident, self-assured, with direction. Someone who knows how to balance when to be serious and when not.
