About

After graduating from Wayne Couny Community College's Veterinary Technician Program in 2014, I began my career as a LVT at a local animal hospital. By 2018, I found myself uncertain of if I wanted to continue my career as a vet tech. I tried office work for a while, but it wasn't rewarding like being an LVT was. This lead me to look into career options in another passion of mine; the arts. I found Southern New Hampshire University's online Graphic Design Program and quickly enrolled. Now, I am a student working on completing my Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design with a major in Web Design and I am on track to graduate in December of 2020.
