Academically, I have been dedicated to the Fine Arts for five-plus years.
Through my studies, I have gained exposure to professional expertise in all media of art, with a primary focus on digital and print media. Intermedia Design is an additional title for my degree as it includes darkroom photography, graphic design, video, branding, and experimental printing methods. Formally, I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design, a certification in digital and darkroom photography, and I am an active Master of Fine Arts Candidate with a primary focus in Intermedia Design. Unrelated to my university studies, I have acquired a preschool-age childcare certification.

The network of high-skill professionals and professors I have had access to has taught me far more than technical skills. They have taught me the long-term value of community, dedication, and perseverance. They have helped me identify my strengths and taught me how to better utilize my weaknesses. Though my concentration is within Fine Arts, I have learned how to work as part of something larger than myself and have experienced the value of curiosity firsthand.
From bars to universities, I have worked within most environments successfully.
