From the beginning, Claire Major learned to stand out. She is one of six children, “a true middle
child,” and she learned early on she loves having a look all her own. She fell into the typical little sister mold
of stealing her older sisters’ clothes, but soon decided she could create her
own looks.
She never considered fashion a career option until she
reached high school, when she took an apparel construction class at a community
college. “Once I learned to sew, it was all downhill from there!” she said.
Today, Claire is a standout Apparel Design and Product
Development major at Baylor. In fact, it
was Baylor’s top-ranking fashion program that drew her to the University in the
first place. Baylor was on Claire’s
radar during the job search because her oldest sister attended, but when she
discovered the 19th ranked fashion program was here, it seemed like
a match made in heaven.
“The combination of my familiarity with the school, its
academic prestige and Christian background, and the excellence of the fashion
department led me to Baylor,” said Claire.
Claire has further honed her skill and passion for the
apparel industry during her time at Baylor.
Several professors, especially Ms. Fader, have taken an interest in her
development. “She has confidence in me
(more than I have in myself sometimes) and is always pushing me to higher
levels of excellence,” she said.
Claire became a tutor because she enjoys helping others
reaching their greatest potential, just as Ms. Fader has done for her. She loves seeing students actively seeking
support, and striving to succeed. She
encourages all students to attend tutoring, because “it can’t hurt” and it’s
free!
No matter what she is doing, Claire stands out. From her unique fashion style to patient and
cheerful personality, she is a stand out in any crowd!
Fun fact about Claire: She enjoys practicing
yoga and is a vegan!
