I am just beginning my third year of school at Pittsburg State University. I am currently working towards a dual major in Commercial Graphics and Advertising Communications with a minor in Marketing. I have been very interested in the graphics industry since my senior year in high school when I was enrolled in a GraphicCommunications class. I learned a lot about the industry and participated in several competitions including a flexography competition in North Carolina. I also competed and won the state of Kansas’ Skills USA competition for Graphic Communications and then competed at the National level in Kansas City. |
