为什么艺术?
I chose art as my major because I enjoy coming up with creative solutions to visual problems. In my experience being a 平面设计 artist, people will come to me with an abstract idea that they can't visually articulate. I get the opportunity to create something that brings their idea to life. The most rewarding part of being a 平面设计 artist is seeing others enjoy the finished product; whether it's a logo that uplifts a brands identity or maybe even an apparel design for a cozy sweatshirt.
As I'd like to own my own business one day, Mount Union is preparing me for my future career by allowing me to participate in events like 艺术 Fest and Raider Tank. 通过 experiences like these and on-campus jobs, I've learned the importance of public speaking and overall, enhanced my communication skills.
Overcoming obstacles
More than an obstacle, it has been a challenge to balance my time because when I am not in class, I'm on the field with the track team, 在校园里工作, part of the honors program, a resident assistant, 和更多的. So, having multiple roles and responsibilities can feel overwhelming, but no student has to face the challenges that come with college alone. 山, I've built my support system comprised of friends, 家庭, 教师, 工作人员, 还有我的队友.
有效的教师
While each 教师 and 工作人员 member that I've met at Mount Union have impacted my journey one way or another, I highly appreciate the support I have received from Dr. 基斯米勒教授, 迈克尔Kachilla教授, Margo米勒和艾米·劳勃舍. They have made my time here extra special. These individuals have gone above and beyond to help me reach my goals.
