Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
I am from West Virginia. I graduated from Marshall University in 2014 with a Bachelors of Fine Arts and in 2019 with a Masters of Science Human Resources Management.
What drew you towards getting a degree in Fine Arts?
I have been a creative person for as long as I can remember. I entered and placed in various art shows during my time in school. Getting a fine arts degree just seemed like the obvious choice.
Did you take a lot of ceramic classes? If so, what did you like most about them?
I took a few ceramic classes in hand building, sculpting and wheel throwing. It is not only comforting to work with your hands, but clay is a medium that host unlimited possibilities to the work that can be created.

I find art is a form of communication that allows one to express thoughts and feelings outside the constraints of vocabulary.

Mayco feels like truly finding my place. It is comforting to work at a company that encourages creativity and to work alongside so many like minded individuals.
