an introduction...

Hi Everyone!

My name is Jessica and I'm a 4th year Industrial/Interaction Design major here at SU. It's been an amazing four years here so far and I'm really looking forward to start working on my thesis in the fall. I'll admit it's a little weird to think that all my friends that came to SU with me freshman year will be graduating in May, but I think all the ID majors here would agree that our program is so great it's worth sticking around for 5th year. (Plus it gives us an extra year to decide what to do with our lives...)

I'm originally from Cheshire, CT (yes, like the cat) and while I will always love it there, I now can consider Syracuse another home. As a senior in high school I wasn't sure about coming to SU, but when I visited the March before I graduated I immediately fell in love with everything it had to offer. For me it was the perfect art program within a strong academic setting, and the sense of community was awesome. It has not only given me a great educational experience but it has given me the best friends I will ever have. Syracuse has become so much more than a school and I'll be sad to leave it next year.

Besides my classes I also try to stay involved on campus. I've been a peer advisor for two years and a TA for a foundation course. I also dance (a lot) and am a member of both DanceWorks and TAP. There's just so much to do on campus all the time it's definitely hard to time manage so I make sure to get all my work done too!

I could go on and on...but maybe later. If you have any questions for me feel free to leave a comment or send an email!

Cheers,
Jess
