I have always loved art and the ability to express my creativity. Before attending Marquette, I took art classes for seven years at MainStreet Art Center in Lake Zurich. During that time, I learned fundamental art principles while working with a variety of mediums, including oil and acrylic paints, charcoal, and pastels. More recently, I have focused on digital design and have extensive experience using Canva, while working to increase my proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite. My passion for marketing comes from the way it combines strategic thinking with creativity, and I hope to apply these skills in future internship and career opportunities.
