About Brae
Hi! I'm Brae Morgan. I am currently a junior at the Univeristy of Oregon pursuing a degree in Business. I feel that my passion and dedication in marketing as well as for Fashion and Beauty are what make me a great candidate. I have always been a firm believer in the significance that fashion and beauty carry in a person's identity. Having makeup and clothing as a form of self-expression allows me to feel more confident and creative. I love learning about the newest products and experimenting with them. I always play around with my style whether it be through a funky fur coat or a bold eye look. As I pursue my degree in Business, I love to draw connections from business marketing to beauty and fashion. I have mastered the use of Microsoft Excel, word, Google Docs, and Slides. A strong quality I take pride in possessing is my ability to work well with others. I have always been part of a team whether it be through soccer in high school or college now where I am a member of the Product Relations Student Society of America and a playlist connoisseur for Align Magazine, University of Oregon's fashion magazine. Being a part of these organizations has furthered my strength in collaboration and team efforts. My respect and consideration for others allow me to accurately convey my opinion as well as work with others to produce the best possible outcomes.

What makes Brae, Brae.
Hometown:
Cardiff, California
Cardiff, California is a small coastal town located in northeastern San Diego. While the number of residents is growing immensely, the spread of Cardiff itself is quite compact. I have always loved the kind community and the ability to see a breathtaking sunset no matter what time of year it is. The sense of community is like no other. The traditions of street fairs, surf paddle outs, and small business fairs have allowed me to be apart of something bigger than myself in a productive and creative way. Regardless of it's growing population, my hometown has always felt like my own backyard. The sand was always between my toes and the ocean was always at my fingertips with me ready to touch any sea anemone near. Growing up by the ocean I lived a very active lifestyle where I learned to surf, swim, play soccer, and explore athleticism in any way. I also grew deeply passionate about the planets well being and conserving the beauty of nature. As I get older, I am able to reflect on the impact that my hometown has had on me and that is something I am eternally grateful for. I have grown into a curious, passionate, and caring young woman and I owe a lot of that to Cardiff.
Education:
University of Oregon
Attending the University of Oregon has been one of the most impactful experiences of my life. Moving nearly 1000 miles from home, I have had the opportunity to understand myself in a way I never had before. I am currently a sophomore pursuing a degree in business and have loved being able to take more challenging and business-oriented classes. During my time at the University of Oregon, I have also become a member of several organizations. I have become a member of the Product Relations Student Society of America where I have learned more about marketing and how to navigate the business world. I have also become a member of the Psi Alpha Chapter of Chi Omega where I was recently given the position of Sisterhood Assistant. Being part of such an inspiring community of women has shown me so much about who I want to be and it is so wonderful that I get to give back to that through my position. I have also become a playlist connoisseur for Align Magazine, University of Oregon's Fashion Magazine. Through my role, I have gotten to look more deeply into the fashion world and its direct impact on students. Aside from the wonderful education I am earning, it has been so exciting for me to explore the beauty that this new state has to offer. I have loved getting to go on hikes, see waterfalls, and experience more drastic seasons than I am used to. I am eternally grateful for the growth that this chapter of my life has provided and am so happy to attend a school that I know is allowing my intelligence and determination to flourish.
Veganism
Value:
Growing up I was always aware of the importance of healthy eating and nourishing my body with whole foods. I never really understood the depth of the food industry and how much it impacts our planet until I was 14. I decided to go vegan to help nourish my body and the planet. Going vegan quickly became one of the best decisions I have ever made and I have now been vegan for nearly 7 years. Being vegan not only allows me to help our planet, but it has also given me a community of like-minded and conscious people who all want to help the planet. Contributing to the improvement of our planet knowing that I am not only saving animals' lives but also lowering the use of carbon dioxide, methane, water, deforestation, and more is so rewarding. With that, I have also learned the importance of implementing sustainability into my life. Shopping more locally, conserving light and water, and being aware of what I purchase are things I have implemented into my daily life. Helping the earth is something that I hope to not only embrace but improve on for the rest of my life. I will continue to contribute to the betterment of our planet as well as encourage others to do so.
My Goals:
Keeping accountability is key to completing and excelling in your goals. Being a very goal-oriented person myself, I find it very important to lay out exactly what I want to achieve whether that be through vision boards or writing. I have a plethora of goals whether they be personal or business-related, but I wanted to share my business goals. I aim to be a powerful and creative businesswoman. I would like to pursue fashion and beauty marketing and make an incredible impact on the company. I want to continue to learn as well as deepen my passion for my field of interest.
