My whole life has been guided by artistic expression. In High school I was part of a small, select group of students in an extended graphic design career-training program. Here I designed countless flyers and promotional material for any events or drama presentations for both Sachem North and East. In addition to promotional material, during this time I also designed clothing for the Sachem North 2023 senior trip and showcased artwork in multiple exhibitions. I was later awarded the Academic Award for Art Excellence for my graduating class by the Sachem Board of Education.

After High school, I began studying Visual Communications and Graphic Design at Farmingdale State College. As a student, I was soon hired to work as a Graphic Designer in Farmingdale States’ Office of Distance Learning.
