What the hell am I doing with this plan of study?
Excellent question. I have always said, "It's not that I don't know what I want to do; there is so much I could do, I don't want to limit myself with a choice." I stick by that.
In high school I was in everything: choir, theater, art, broadcasting, student government, speech, anatomy, genetics, psychology, etc. I was interested in so much that I didn't want to pass up an opportunity to learn more about it. 

In college, I have done the same. I am performing with the world renowned Purdue Varsity Glee Club, editing and hosting the #1 College Broadcast in America, Fast Track, and am balancing some weird areas of study. 

Where have I worked?

Between my classes, I have thought about pursing Graphic Design, Broadcast Graphics, Forensic Photography/Imaging, Medical Simulation Animation, Music Video Directing, and so much more on the spectrum that involves "graphic arts".

And I hope to have my hand in all of it at some point. 

But my resume is not boring by any means in its current state; I have interned for 543 Design Group, BNY Mellon in Indianapolis, the United States Secret Service, and most recently, the Chicago Winter Company litigation graphics group. 

I am always doing little projects here and there for friends and organizations on campus, but I cannot wait to get my hands dirty working full-time for an organization. 

Do I have any pets?

1 very old yellow lab named Max. We used to have a cat named Simba, but he ate the dog food all the time, got huge and ended up with diabetes. The dog, in-turn, would not eat his food and is very thin.

We renamed them "Chunk" and "Skeletor"; sounds like a match made in heaven!

Who is my favorite superhero?

Tough question. Favorite conventional superhero would have to be Spider-Man. Cliche, but the idea of Peter Parker leading this dual life as a witty webslinger really inspired my inner nerd. So much so, that at my preschool graduation, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up, and I said Spider-Man. 

What "fandom" do you most belong to?

Power Rangers. Hands down. (I wish Siri came with a Zordon voice)

Are there any more questions you can think of to answer right now?

Nope...otherwise, I would've just kept writing
