PORTFOLIO
DESIGN
Since childhood I have loved to display images visually. Drawing and sketching have always been creative outlets for me and i find these two skills comes quite naturally to me. The more I practiced and the more knowledge I attained in my latter years, the more I appreciated my gift and let it in a sense, work for me. With this, I began to tackle differing media just as a means to challenge myself. My design grew from stuffing sketchbooks to architectural drafts on velum paper to model building and now on to professional Adobe Creative Suite software. In no regard do I foresee limitations in my craft. Writing is one of the most effective ways of communicating. There is so much one can convey through words that he or she may not otherwise be able to even want to say. Thankfully, I was able to attain the ability of formal structure and even wrote for fun in my spare time. I never saw writing to be a chore, oddly enough. To me, it was simply a path into a brighter furure.
WRITING
EDUCATION GOAL
My psychology background allows me to effectively communicate with people using both of the aforementioned elements whilst utlilizing my natural interpersonal skills. I know that possessing a background in psychology is a great benefit to any position because it has aided me in refining my efficacy, analytical, interpersonal, and organizational abilities. Whenever I make mention of my psych degree, everyone asks, How is that degree going to help you? Because they assume my studies were clinically concentrated. And although, I did take a few medical-based courses as electives, the core of my studies involved ones understanding of behavior and society and even consumer relations. Co-mingled with my degree, my love of design is depicted in my creativity and analytical problem-solving skills.
With the skill-set Ive acquired throughout the years while working and studying, I am confident that I am an asset to every endeavor in my pursuits, as I am a results-driven, self-starting, fast learner with no reservations toward a challenge. My past experiences will show that I can and have easily adapted to various industries and settings (i.e. ability to manage; work in a team; and work independently). And in every internship or occupation I have entered into, I have demonstrated great worth ethic, a passion for positive results, and eagerness to succeed and aiding others in their quest for success as well.
