Summary

I am a college student seeking a job that allows me to gain valuable work experience while providing an opportunity to contribute to a team. Growing up my family taught me the importance of perseverance and determination. Being the oldest child, I took on responsibilities that shaped my sense of leadership and empathy. Currently, I am pursuing my degree in Visual communication at Northern Illinois University. I chose this major because I took the class in high school twice and loved everything about it. This career allows me to be creative whether it's through design, graphics, or multimedia. In the future I envision myself working in an organization where I can utilize my knowledge and passion to develop design and graphics. Outside of academics, I love playing sports, my favorite sport is basketball, I like spending time with my family when I get the opportunity, and I like going on bike rides or walks outside on a trail.
