Since I can remember, I have always had an interest in the art and design world. It was not until high school that I realized it was something I wanted to pursue as a career. Throughout my senior years at high school, I was lucky enough to study Design and Technology, as well as a TAFE course in Design Fundamentals, in which I received awards complementing my works. These classes helped me gain certain skills and techniques, in which helped me gain a better understanding of what is involved and expected in the graphic Design industry. I am an international student from Australia, currently studying a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Graphic Design and Social Media at Newberry College, South Carolina. Over the last year and a half, I have developed skills in a variety of subjects that have all helped me build on my talents in becoming a graphic designer. Some of my best skills that have risen over the last couple of years include communication skills, teamwork, creativity, reliability, time management, patience, commitment, etc. I have been involved in a variety of different work environments over the past few years. I was a waitress at Mexicano Restaurant, in which I needed to show my people skills, patience and coordination in order to have a successful shift. I have also grown up in a sporting life style, in which has given me many skills that have contributed to the person I am today. I have been a basketball coach for Stella Maris College for the last 4 years, as well as coaching Potter Laugue.
