welcome

Ever since I was a little kid in Yankton, South Dakota, I have loved art. Whether I was driving down the road looking at billboards, watching television, or looking at a magazine, it caught my eye. I was involved with the arts while growing up, acting and behind-the-scenes work in theatre, singing in the choir, playing the violin in the orchestra, or drawing on a piece of paper.
Initially, I started my school career with an HVAC career; I felt like that wasn’t for me, and I wanted to do something else, but what? With a love for art, why not find a career where you can use art? I chose Southeast Tech because its graphics program was excellent. I already have a degree in digital media through them, but I want to expand on that and have decided to continue my education; I chose to continue with the Media Design program. Since I have been with Southeast Tech, I have gained insight into print design and got to see firsthand what it’s like working for a graphics company.
Since being in the media design program, I have gained experience in the Adobe Creative Suite programs. I learned how to edit photos, create motion graphics, and make magazine layouts.
Having a degree in both, I plan to find a career in which I can utilize them together. Having been from South Dakota, I plan to stay in the state and gain some experience in graphics with a company while being close to my family.
