Margaret Ann Coyle: Moving Forward in Fashion
Margaret Ann Coyle is one to never let anything stand in her way. Raised in the Pacific northwest, she learned early on that fashion was her one true passion and set out to do anything she could to jump in, which oddly took her down a path of becoming a computer scientist. After an impromptu trip to London, she fell in love with the city, and is now there dancing in the thunderstorm of the field she loves. She also hopes to one day start a venture capital firm focused on representation in all areas.
