Why did you choose CAADatMSU?
I choose CAAD at MSU because of the great programs this college has to offer at MSU. I also like that we have opportunities to interact and network with students that have gained the experience in being at CAAD. Learning from the upperclassmen students, I want to be able to further grow the abilities and skills I have and learn to be successful in graphic design/painting.
Favorite spot on campus?
Out of the many places I been on campus, I would have to say my favorite spot on campus is Chadwick Lake because of the beautiful scenery from sunrise to sunset and the cool breeze of the reflection in the water with the freshness of the crisp green.
If you could go back and tell your high school self one thing, what would it be.
If I were to go back and tell my high school self one thing, it would be having the perseverance to not give up during my last two years no matter how hard it was and to keep pushing forward until the end.
These are a few of my favorite things ….
I like the color blue and reading magazines and books. During my free time, I like to watch Asian soap operas as well as work out and run. Most of all, what I really enjoy is painting and working on graphic art on the computer – being able to push and play with a logo or a still life and make it something original unique and fresh until it becomes a work of art.
