Why did you choose SCAD: SCAD visited my high school, and talked to me about the school. I saw the pictures, and it really looked perfect. So I discussed it with my family. At the time, my brother was studying psychology and wasn’t liking it like he thought he would. So, he too became interested in SCAD and we both applied. It just made sense because then we could live together in school and study what we love.
What’s your favorite part of going to SCAD thus far: The people, the events, and everything that is going on. Then there’s all the little things that make it worthwhile. I also love seeing all the student work and building a network of great artistic friends.
Hobbies: Writing, going on adventures, biking, rock climbing, gaming, anime, movies, and piano playing.
On thing you couldn’t live without: Music and my favorite band is The Killers.
Dream job: Becoming a novelist.
