During the summer of 2016, I enrolled in three classes at the Academy of Art University. I had to raise over a thousand dollars from work, family, and friends to stay at the dorms in San Francisco. My experience was very rewarding. I feel my technical skills and ability to collaborate were strengthened the most. I met and maintained relationships with many budding creative professionals from architects to soundtrack designers. Since this time, I have continued to further expand my knowledge, especially in music production and networking. This environment gave me real-life experience with being self-driven in a highly dynamic and creative world.
