About
I am currently enrolled as a freshman in Fitchburg State University, planning to pursue a bachelor's degree in the Interdisciplinary Studies major; concentration Fine and Performing Arts- as well as looking into Graphic Design as a minor. I'm hoping to aim for a career along the lines of an illustrator, a concept design artist, or even a graphic designer or logo designer.
In the past, I have been active in my school community as a member of the Honors Academy, participating in hours of community service and multiple clubs/extracurricular activities related to art, music, performance, and improving the wellbeing of students, earning myself multiple art and academic awards along the way.
In terms of work experience, I am currently a sales representative working for the company Cutco through Vector Marketing, which is teaching me many general/professional skills such as how to hold myself accountable, manage my time, and gain more confidence. Within the past two years, I have gained work experience through the summer paid internships my high school had offered- the first summer being designing and painting murals around the school, and the second summer being an animation intern. I have gained both increased artistic ability and collaboration skills through these internships, as well as a better understanding of each job. I have gained both increased artistic ability and collaboration skills through these internships, as well as a better understanding of each job.
With all of this experience and involvement, I am ultimately working to accomplish my all-time dream of pursuing an art-related career. Going to college will help me further gain more experience necessary to reach this lifelong goal of mine.
