Where are you from? Detroit
What was your academic path before coming to the Digital Media Program? I wanted to be a nurse but wearing scrubs didn’t fit me. So I decided to have a career change.
What did you want to be when you were younger? Is that still an interest of yours? I wanted to wrestle.
What are your strengths on and why are you passionate about it? One of my biggest strengths is that I am a go getter. I like more action, not so much words.
What is your favorite part of Digital Media? My favorite part is working with different Adobe software; for example flash.
What or who are your influences? I am influenced by God. He gives me strength to excel in anything that I pursue. With him, I know I can not fail.
What is your future plan? My future plan is to either be a designer in my field or be in design management. I also wouldn’t mind being an instructor.
What advice would you give a prospective Digital Media student? If you don’t like to take risks, this isn’t the industry for you.
