Work Ethic
Working at a fast food for the past three years has taught me a ton about serving customers and showing up to put in the work. And some of the design classes I've taken in high school like Graphic Design, Photography, Digital Media and Capstone Design where I got certified in Adobe Illustrator that has let me level up my art skills. Between learning how to hustle at my job and making digital art I feel ready to keep grinding and make my dreams of having my own creative career come true after I graduate.
