Even though she is one of my younger students, a sophomore, she has jumped right in to be a leader and make a difference in the program. She is really creative when it comes to T-shirt designs, and has been a big part of the success of several apparel projects and orders we have completed this fall. She communicates very well, leads in the classroom, and also connects with and encourages others. She has developed and improved her skills already in the first few months of school, and I am excited to see how she continues to grow and lead in the business program in the future!
