-Interview by Charlotte Druckman in Elle Decor

Dear Ms. Josie Natori,

I’m a fourth-year student at The University of Arizona. After two and a half years of studying Microbiology, I had realized that working in the field of science as a pharmacy tech./intern wasn’t what I felt passionate about. I changed majors to journalism, which I’m still a little anxious about with the job market and all. I love fashion and home decorating! Maybe it was because I grew up with a sister who works in fashion. I wish I were as curageous as her to embark in a field where money wasn’t the issue, and “doing something (she) related to” was. And although I’ve changed majors… Like I said, I’m still a bit anxious.

Today, I am studying for my last final of this Fall semester. I just went to buy some index cards after I had run out and stopped by my mailbox. I was excited to see that I had received my new issue of Elle Decor and although I still have a final to study for, I decided to flip through to the section on “Women in Design”.

After reading your interview, I felt inspired. You see, I’m 21 years old, Asian-American and I’m about to graduate and head off into a world where competition for jobs in my field are limited. I’ve been worried about what I’ve gotten myself into. Your passion for what you do makes me feel optimistic about my future. You’ve done things in the past that have helped shape the woman you are today. I can only hope that I will be as successful in what I do in the future. And so I must say, thank you for inspiring me!

Sincerely,

Tiffany Jen
