Ashton Ballough

I am a 19 year old, full time student pursuing a graphic design major in Santa Barbara City College. I am determined to apply my skills and interests to an innovative internship position. I have developed quite a strong foundation in customer service and have been providing excellent support and building positive relationships not only with clients but also colleagues. I'm all for teamwork and, more importantly, a learning environment where I can learn new skills while being part of the team effort. Besides having this strong muscle in interpersonal skills, I'm well versed in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Java, and I am looking forward to putting it all together and joining your success. Building experience for valuable exposure while furthering my capabilities, especially in graphic designing, is a plus to me.

• Passionate about outdoor activities, I enjoy hiking, mountain biking, and spending time at the beach, which played a key role in my decision to move to Santa Barbara. Additionally, I have a strong interest in the arts, with experience in editing, drawing, and various creative projects. My enthusiasm for both nature and artistic expression drives my creativity and problem-solving skills in both personal and professional settings.

• Received multiple art awards in high school and was nominated for "Artist of the Month," recognizing artistic talent and dedication. While I did not win the award, I valued the opportunity to be considered among top student artists nationwide.
