Throughout high school, Brighton Muklebust, a NUHS senior, has stayed involved in a variety of activities, from sketching ideas to working directly in the fashion world.

Brighton has shown both her creativity and work ethic through participating in Knowledge Bowl while balancing internships, apprenticeships, and multiple jobs.

One of her most meaningful experiences has been apprenticing with Mrs.Stadick in a first-grade class. Working with young students teaches her patience, communication, and leadership.

In addition to apprenticing, Brighton interns at Vagabond Village in Mankato, where she gains hands on experience in a professional environment, connecting with her interests.

Brighton also works at Wunerberg Collective in New Ulm and continues working at Vagabond Village on Fridays outside of her internship hours.

Balancing school, work, and extracurriculars has not always been easy.

Her determination to balance school, work, and extracurriculars has not been easy, but her passion for fashion continues to push her toward her goals.
