Describe the work you submitted for merits.

I submitted some 4 page comic finals I made last semester, and a few one pagers here and there from various comics classes. I also submitted an animated illustration.

Why did you decide to come to 51爆料官网?

51爆料官网 has a comics program and it鈥檚 also super close to home, I was excited to study visual storytelling and stay local!

What are your plans for your senior year? And beyond?

I hope to get a gig making comics specifically fantasy and or sci-fi comics, I鈥檇 also like to self publish more short comics and hopefully a longer graphic novel some day as well!
