      High School Diploma Media Design

      Activities and Societies: Art Show Curator, member of the Ensemble Immersion Visual Arts Team This relatively new school is already establishing a reputation as one of the best art high schools in the nation.

      Bachelor's Degree Illustration

      Activities and Societies: Member of the AIGA IWU chapter Indiana Wesleyan University is a smaller school with a big impact. I studied art and design with working artists such as Ron Mazellan and Herb Peterson, just two among many people who influenced me there. My school instilled in me a great desire to break the mold of self-serving commercial or fine arts and look for ways to really care about my clients and what they do for a living.

    • The Verland Foundation

      Seamstress

      Although my position at Verland was only a temporary one, I left the foundation profoundly moved by the lives of the individuals and care workers that resided there. Verland gave me the opportunity to personalize clothing items for developmentally disabled individuals, from sewing on name tags to designing entire outfits for particularly challenging clothing needs.

      During my years at Indiana Wesleyan, I worked in the office of Academic Affairs. Each day offered a new project, from setting up the conference room for a hiring meeting to producing graphics for online course advertisements.

It also allowed me to see some of the inner workings of a large business, and to navigate successfully the dynamics and workings therein.
