Why did you choose SCAD?
I have always wanted to be an Interior Designer, when researching schools, SCAD had the best program offered. The close nit relationships with classmates and professors, was exactly what I needed in my learning environment. In addition, I chose SCAD because I wanted to be in an environment that is hard-working and career driven, with the ease of friendly people that surround me with positive vibes.

Why are you and Ambassador?
Honestly, I love interacting with people, and sharing my experience throughout my life at SCAD with prospective students and their families. I enjoy representing my school, I use this experience to connect with my school on another level, other than just attending classes and doing homework. It is also a way of thanking SCAD for all the opportunities it has provided for me, and will provide in the future. Student Ambassadors are not your average students, we are definitely above average, I am honored to be a part of this family.
