    PSU was a great introduction into higher education. I started as an Illustration major and added Graphic Design as a second major after the first year. I transfered to Kendall because the art program at PSU was fledgling and I wanted a more focused and challenging experience.

    Was an Residence Adviser (RA) for Grafton Hall. Was on the unofficial PSU Rock Climbing Team. Was a member of the Boxing Club as well.
