What originally brought you to MxCC?
I came to MxCC looking to find a way to turn my interests in media, art, and creativity into a career. I had always been interested in drawing and making things, and didn’t realize that there were so many opportunities to make a living doing it.

My internship brought me to what was then the tiny Communications Department at Goodwin College, where my skills from MxCC quickly made me a valuable team member and I was soon offered a full-time position.

How did MxCC prepare you for the workforce?
The curriculum at MxCC prepared me for the workforce by teaching not only the hands-on technical aspects of graphic design and multimedia production, but also how to present and talk about the work I was doing. The projects I completed during my time at MxCC helped build out my portfolio, and the assignments prepared me for the variety of projects I would later encounter.

The
