About Me ...
MY STORY
I am an alumni from Old Dominion University (ODU), and received my bachelor's degree in Marketing, with a minor in Accounting. Plus, I have an associate's of applied science degree in Computer-Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) Technology, that I recieved from Tidewater Community College (TCC). When I started my education at ODU I transferred from TCC as a Junior in Mechanical Engineering.
These are pictures of me at my graduation ceremony from ODU. As you can see from my stoles and honor cords, I was part of many honor societies and clubs.
The photo on the right is a close up of my graduation cap that I designed and painted. It is inspired by my favorite animated show, Avatar: The Last Airbender.
After a few classes, I realized that this was not the path that I wanted for myself. I changed my major to Accounting since I work in Finance and wanted to stay with my employer. However, that too was not for me and I started to see that I was not motivated in my classes. Finally, After speaking with coworkers and family, it was suggested that I look into Marketing. I met up with my advisor to get more information and realized that this was a better option. At that same time, I started looking into creative career options to which I can apply marketing skills to. This is when I decided to start a UX/UI Design certification, with CareerFoundry.
I have gone through a lot of changes mentally, physically, and emotionally since I have been enrolled at ODU. Nevertheless, it has been an extremely helpful journey in so many different ways.
With a passion for finance, marketing, design, and all things creative, I have both the skill set and experiences necessary to succeed in the marketing world. As an upbeat, and self-motivated learner, I envision an exciting future in this industry.
