I discovered my passion for graphic arts later than many of my peers, as I had to complete both the second and third courses simultaneously at Red Lion to stay on track for the fourth before graduation. However, from the moment I began working on design projects in my first course, I became deeply invested in the field and realized it was what I loved to do.

When I moved to Red Lion in eighth grade—toward the end of remote learning due to COVID-19—I was uncertain about my future and had yet to find a true passion. Graphic arts changed that for me, giving me direction and a creative outlet that I genuinely enjoy.

During high school, I was also involved in athletics, playing for the football team from the middle of my freshman year and running track since the end of my sophomore year. While sports helped me stay active, my true passion lies in graphic arts, and I look forward to pursuing it beyond high school.

Since starting Graphic Design in 9th grade, I’ve been growing my skills and creativity each year. With every project, I love bringing my ideas to life—whether it’s through digital design, sketching, or brainstorming new concepts. 

Art has always been my passion, and I enjoy experimenting with different styles and techniques to create unique and meaningful designs. I’m constantly coming up with new ideas and pushing myself to improve, making every piece I work on reflect my creativity and imagination.
