Meet Rebecca Bartinetti, a senior at Puget Sound Skills Center. Ever since she was little, Rebecca has been captivated by the glamour of the movies. She loved to dress up and pretend. The whole idea of making characters come to life thrilled her. It was this excitement that sparked her desire to be a costume designer.

Rebecca is currently enrolled at PSSC in the Fashion Design and Marketing class for the second year. She is studying marketing, manufacturing, and design. Rebecca also interns 10 hours a week with Outrageous Inc., where she is gaining hands-on experience in the costume design business.

Rebecca is a member of the Student Advisory Council, which represents the needs of students and allows student leaders to practice decision-making skills. She is also a member of DECA and worked with the Washington State Fire Marshal's Office on their "Celebrate Safely Campaign" to make a safety video about fireworks.

Rebecca attends Mount Rainier High School part-time, where she is heavily involved in drama productions.

Rebecca plans to further her education at Seattle Central Community College, where she will earn her degree in fashion design and marketing.

Congratulations, Rebecca!
