For Better or For Worse

Take a moment and visit

Ibegan my college adventure later in life. Whenthe opportunity was presented for me to goback to school and l earn a new career path,I decided to combine my two great passions,drawing and computers, and enroll in the GraphicDesign - Digital Media program at Mohawk College.

Graduating in the Spring of 2013, it is my hopeto obtain a full time career in the marketing oradvertising industry. This career choice will incorpo-rate both my administrative expertise and my newlyfound graphic design skills.

The last two years of my life as a college studentand new Grandmother, has been an extrodinaryadventure of knowledge and personal growth. I lookforward to what the future holds.
