Where It All Began. . .

My journey began about a year and a half ago. At the time I was a teacher in East Texas, and the year was ending. Part of me wanted to stay where I was, another part of me wanted to move on with my life somewhere else. Where I was living had many memories that I needed to put behind me and I told myself I would stay a few more years, if I was able to move to Pre-K from Head Start. Unfortunately, that did not happen. So, I had several choices I had to make.

I started out by applying for other teaching jobs in Arkansas. I really enjoyed teaching, but was not happy in the program I was teaching in. Then one day, on a trip to New Orleans to visit a friend, I was checking out Tulane's website. It had always been a thought in the back of my mind to go back to school to advance my original degree of Communications & Mass Media.

After doing a little research about graphic design and web development, I made a decision to go back to school at Tulane and pursue Post-Baccalaureate Certificates in these areas. At first, my family didn't really like the idea of me moving to New Orleans - they would have much rather me move closer to home and go to the University of Arkansas. But, I felt that I was at a time in my life where I needed a scenery change - and New Orleans was somewhere I always liked to visit.

So, here I am. On my journey into the world as a Graphic Designer. Who knows where this road will lead me.
