About

I am currently attending The Art Institute of Pittsburgh - Online Division for a bachelor's degree in interior design. I have always been interested in art and the arts, however when I was in high school those dreams didn't seem attainable. I settled on going to school to become a pharmacy technician, where I completed the program and passed the national pharmacy technician exam. I landed a job in the hospital I interned at and still currently work there full time. I eventually found The Art Institute of Pittsburgh who offered the program I have always had dreams of studying, and learned that I can complete my degree online full-time, while working full time. Though I spend most of my time either working or doing schoolwork, it is all towards the goal of becoming an interior designer and doing something I have always had a passion for.

Goals and interests

Career goal

The intended job path and goal is to become an interior designer. With the education and knowledge I receive from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh - Online Division, I wish to take the NCIDQ exam, which will be beneficial for my future as an interior designer. All aspects of interior design are interesting. Commerical and hospitality design is different from the residential side of interior design, but ultimately hospitality and commercial interior design is where I could see myself as a future interior designer.

Outside the classroom

In my spare time, I enjoy running an hiking. I also love painting and getting lost in a great book.
