Major: Apparel Studies
Hometown: DeSoto, MO

MaryKate Leftridge always had an interest in fashion and the latest trends. She was even voted “most fashionable” in high school. After touring the beautiful campus and meeting with staff and students, she knew Stephens College would become her second home. As an Apparel Studies major, she has a solid foundation in fashion, business, design, and communications. One of the highlights of the fashion program at Stephens was meeting designer Brandon Maxwell. MaryKate has been working in the bridal industry while working toward her degree and will graduate in May.
