Achievements

PRESIDENTIAL PURCHASE AWARD

May 2015
In the Spring 2015 art show, held annually at Rock Valley College, I received the Presidential Purchase
Award. My traditionally drawn art piece entitled "Entwined" was selected by the college President to be
one of the two pieces out of the entire show to be purchased and kept in the college's permanent art
collection. Along with the honor, I received a cash prize of $250.
