When starting my journey as an uncertain freshman, I always had the field of design and advertising in the back of my mind, even though I knew almost nothing about it. Through my time in the wonderful Mass Communications program at SIUE, and the professional connections I was able to make, I have learned and created so much. These experiences have allowed me to flourish and take on an advertising role in my professional life. Every project, big or small, has taught me something new and has helped me grow.
