Jordan Miller mentors Tara High seniors with an eye for design
Even from afar, BRYC Alumni make close connections with Fellows.
By Elin Hawkinson
Jordan Miller (BRMHS ’17, Fashion Institute of Technology ’21) collaborated with In-School College Counselor Tavidee Hoskins to support aspiring designers at Tara High School. Jordan, a Boston-based designer for athletic shoe and apparel brand Puma, was soon communicating regularly with In-School Seniors Chance and Martrail. Because the in-school program places BRYC counselors directly in high school classrooms, introducing in-school Fellows to Alumni is critical for building a sense of the broader BRYC Community. Despite a 1,500 mile separation, Tavidee said Jordan and the Tara Fellows have been eagerly exchanging messages, with Martrail sharing some of his designs and plans for a virtual meetup in the works.
