Other Experience:

Much of my secondary education revolved around improving my artistic and design-based skill sets. I took several higher level art classes such as A.P. Independent Studio and Graphic Occupations I and II. They helped me improve my skills and taught me what it is like to work in a professional graphic design setting. Working in the Brainard Writing Center has taught me how to improve my own writing skills, as well as how to tutor others to do the same. It has likewise improved my ability to communicate clearly and concisely.
