In 1997, I finished four years of college. I started my freshman year at Indiana University where I majored in an Individualized Major Program in International Advertising - Graphic Design and Business. Being able to select and choose my classes, within all departments, I became well-rounded.

During my junior year, I studied abroad in Milan, Italy with the Institute of European Studies. I became fluent in Italian and was given two internships with a design company and an ad agency. I returned my senior year to IU where I reunited with friends and reality.
