Meet Alex, our new production manager! Alex started with Sewing Training Academy in January, but she has been in the STA orbit since 2016 when she applied to intern with STA.
Her path took her a different direction, though, to a gig at Elizabeth Suzann, a local design house known for their sustainable fabrics and ethical manufacturing, At Elizabeth Suzann Alex honed her skills as a Production Sewist. When she was promoted to Sewing Team Leader in 2017, she once again connected with STA to hire our graduates for the ES sewing team. In 2020 Alex consulted with STA to create the framework for the STA production facility. That same year Alex launched , her (very cool) jean brand with hand-dyed fabrics and signature checkerboard color blocking, and in 2022 she participated in SewPOP as a vendor. Most recently she wowed our students as a lecturer in Career Survey, a class in which students learn about the careers of individuals in the sewing and fashion industry.
After all this time of swirling in our orbit, Alex has landed on the STA team! It’s about time, we say, and we can’t wait to see what she will accomplish here at Catholic Charities!
