Why did you choose to attend UT Tyler?

Because of the state-of-the-art facilities, vast array of equipment, large spacious rooms, gifted and practiced faculty, and the option of doing many different types of media.

What are your career goals and how does your graduate program support them?

To create a full body of cohesive work and develop my own signature sculptural style. By having critiques during the semester with four diverse faculty who are part of my graduate committee, and a final critique at the end of each semester where all faculty and graduate students are a part of.

It's a quiet place with exceptional facilities and first-rate faculty, where one can really delve into the making of art.
