I will always remember the classes that started it all, and that was my drawing courses. I took majority of these courses at Delta College before my transfer to Central Michigan University. It was here that my shift began. I knew I was "okay" at art but had never taken an art class in my life. My first art professor at Delta pulled me aside and told me I had to take all her classes going forward, and that art is my calling. She stated we had to find my niche, which later became Graphic Design and Advertising.

My summer internship at the Midland Community Center asked to draw a quick mural when not making posters, social posts, and other intern duties. The mural was done in window markers to depict the new building they have planned. (2022)
