IUL Scholar: Embracing Creativity

1. Where do you work within IU Libraries? What would you like people to know about you?

I work in the mailroom at Wells Library. I'm currently a sophomore majoring in Creative Advertising. I love collecting vinyls, eating sushi, and keeping a positive attitude!

2. How has working at the IU Libraries enhanced your college experience?

My time at IU Libraries has been very helpful in my college career, as the flexibility of my job allows me to focus most of my attention on my schoolwork while still having a consistent job schedule.

3. What do you hope to do after you graduate?

I hope to move to Chicago and work at an advertising agency as an Art Director. I want to create concepts for fun, unique, and artistic advertisements at a specialized agency.

4. What activities and/or hobbies do you like to do when you are not studying or working?  

I love creating anything. When I think of an idea, no matter how ridiculous it may be, I feel committed to creating it.

5. What advice would you give to incoming freshmen?

Don't be afraid to take breaks! College life is exhausting with events and classes around every corner, so take time for yourself. There isn't anyone you'll be with more than yourself, so give yourself grace. There's no shame in needing a break.
