Candace Cecconi 21 -
Student at NCSU College
of Management & Fashion
Designer
I graduated in 2003 from
the Fashion Institute of
Technology, in NYC with
an Associates of Art degree
in Fashion Design. I have
always aspired to open my
own bridal house, and decided
I should work towards a
degree in business management.
I was born and raised in
Raleigh and being a wolf
packer all of my life, I
would attend no other than
N.C. State, which is where
I am currently pursuing
that degree. I began working
at Commonwealth Land Title
Insurance as an Administrative
Assistant (a nice title
for what I like to call
a gopher) when I was 16
to gain knowledge of the
corporate world. I still
work there while attending
school. I have also held
many retail jobs and currently
work at Cache to maintain
my knowledge of the fashion
industry. My friends would
tell you that I am crazy
for attempting to work two
part time jobs, go to school
full time and compete as
a contestant on Entrepreneurs,
but I would have it no other
way. My worst quality is
that I am sensitive and
trusting, although I have
learned to separate these
characteristics from my
business endeavors so not
to be taken advantage of.
I am also ambitious, competitive,
a good communicator and
fun loving, which I consider
to be my best attributes.
My friends and family and
most importantly God, have
molded me into the woman
I am today and I am looking
forward to becoming the
Ultimate Entrepreneur!
