DESIGNER STATEMENT: I have always loved the art field and what it has to offer. It is a way for me to express myself when I feel like I can't. It was a struggle for me to come this far in my college career. There was doubt and fear to be able to reach that finish line that everyone wants. At several points I felt like giving up. But my support system and my passion for art has kept me going. As a designer the world is open for me to explore and to get inspiration. To have nothing and create something beautiful is a feeling that no words can explain.

Now in my final semester, I am excited to start a new chapter in my life as a designer. As I look back and reflect, I can say I wouldn't be where I am at now if I did not go through my journey. I am grateful for the opportunities I had at GMU and for the guidance of my professors and classmates throughout the years. To think of what has happened in the world and yet I am able to find something positive within it by graduating makes all the hard work and tears all worth it. Now the next step awaits me.
