Life is constantly shifting, and sometimes change comes to you in waves that can knock your whole gameplan out of the water. I always thought that I’d be with The Criterion till graduation, but things changed. I’m now going to be transferring to the University of Colorado Denver to continue pursuit of my animation degree. 

The Criterion has been my primary support system since I started my freshman year in 2018. I’ve grown close with a number of my fellow editors and built some lasting relationships. They helped me to grow as both a person and an artist, constantly helping me to step out of my comfort zone. 

My work as The Web Designer has allowed me to expand on my previous design experience and knowledge in a whole new way and exposed me to new possibilities for creative expression. There are no words for what that means to me for my present and my future.

So, I just want to say thank you to all of my fellow editors. Thank you guys for making such a memorable experience for me to take with me into the next phase of my life.
