About
Ambition and dedication have been ingrained into me by my family ever since I was little. To go above and beyond even in the simplest of tasks. With this mindset, I have worked hard to achieve my skills and education.
My art journey has been self taught and is an ongoing learning experience. I have spent years honing my skills and growing in my craft. And I believe higher education will not only further my skills, but set me on the best path to a lifelong career.
I am currently enrolled at the College for Creative Studies in their bachelor's program for illustration. I believe this college to be the best place to learn and achieve my goals.

Window Cleaning
I work for a window cleaning business for the summer season. It's fairly self-explanatory for what I do, I clean windows and screens for residential and business. This is still my primary form of work while I'm attending college.
