I lived in Champaign all my life and growing up, I had a lot of interests which include a doctor, a chemist, a cartoonist, and a creative writer.  Eventually I went on to earn my degree in creative writing at the University of Illinois At Urbana-Champaign.  Despite getting the degree, I felt that I could do more in my job search so I decided to continue my education in Interactive/Graphic Design at Parkland College and since then, I have enjoyed my journey into learning that creativity can be applied in the professional field.

Outside my involvement with Interactive Design, I also enjoy photography, drawing, and learning about the history of rock and pop music from the 1950s to now.
