About 

I am a current student at Rider University where I study graphics design. I will be obtaining my bachelors of arts this coming May. I have held many internships in the graphics design field where I have been able to do hands on work with some amazing designers who have taught me what it is to be a true designer. I hope that come May I will have found a job that is relevant to creative design where I can show what I am capable of.
