"Deciding what career to move into is a huge decision. Many spend their first few years of college deciding what classes to take and career paths to go down. My experiences in CTE helped give me confidence to take a leap into a new career path starting my first day at [the] university.
Throughout college I was able to have many amazing design opportunities. I got to be on real commercial sets, design logos and ads for real life brands, win awards for my work, and continue to push my art direction career forward. As a recent BYU graduate, I am now moving across the country to Florida to work for the Walt Disney Corporation. There, I will be an art director working on ads for Disney parks and resorts. Making things will officially become my 9:00-5:00.
It is because of my high school graphics courses that I was able to start moving into the world of design. I am beyond grateful for my CTE courses and teacher who helped give me that start and confidence to go down a creative career path.
