About
My name is Sayla Morrisey, and I am a high school senior with a strong academic record and a passion for creativity and entrepreneurship. I plan to attend Old Dominion University to major in graphic design, where I can continue developing my creative skills and turn them into a career.
Throughout high school, I have maintained Honor Roll status while balancing work and personal responsibilities. I am also a licensed nail technician, which has allowed me to gain real-world experience in client management, professionalism, and building my own services.
In addition, I participated in a Youth Entrepreneurship Program where I completed an internship in a professional salon setting. This experience helped me develop skills in business operations, communication, and organization. I have also applied my creativity through graphic design by creating materials such as business flyers and client care cards.
I am motivated, responsible, and focused on continuing my education while building a future that combines creativity and business. I strive to use my skills to create positive experiences for others and continue growing both personally and professionally.
