My experience at Viterbo gave me the tools and opportunities to go on to graduate school to pursue my passion. It was through the close mentoring of Viterbo's faculty that I grew as an artist and individual, expanding my understanding of what it means to be an artist and member of the community. As a professional in my field, I look back at my time at Viterbo with great pride in the connections and skills I learned on the third floor of the Viterbo Fine Arts Center.
