I am a currently studying Graphic Design for my major and French for a Language Certificate. Before and throughout my college experience, I have had many opportunities to grow my skills in both of those areas. I have worked as a graphic designer for two companies giving me a year and a half of experience that pushed me ahead to start up my own freelance company to create my own work. I continue to take courses that help me to advance my skills in software programs such as Adobe Illustrator or InDesign. At the same time, I have grown in experience with the French language from nannying near the city of Paris for a family of two kids at only eighteen years old that led me to religious volunteer work where I lived in many different cities in the South of France for a year and a half. And just recently, I worked for a hiking company that conducts tours in Switzerland where I used my language skills to communicate with a variety of staff and people. In between these opportunities, I've studied French at my university to the point where I will receive a Language Certificate in the coming months. As is shown, I am passionate for Graphic Design and French and want to help students see the growing opportunities one can have by developing the skills now to move forward in the directions they desire. I have seen that through these skills, doors open to all sorts of experiences that can change these students lives as they have done for me. They helped me discover myself such as the love for yoga, reading, horseback riding, and my love of cats.
