I study biomedical engineering,\u00a0 . . . and a lot of my interest in that came from classes I took in high school. As art has become more of a big part of my life, I\u2019ve noticed that I need to do it for my job, so I\u2019ve looked into more of the design based BME type things. I did an internship at a medical device company, and they taught us the basics of the design process. A lot of it is really just graphic design; people are basically doing art all day, just sketching and drawing and stuff.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_1137-300x155.jpg\")
I\u2019d like to think my interests in arts and engineering will overlap soon. Engineering is a bit of a stressor right now. The art is getting away from all that. I know I\u2019ll love it when it\u2019s my job, but right now it\u2019s just a lot of work. I was a Girl Scout for all of high school, and I made art a big part of that. When you\u2019re a Girl Scout for that long, you can kinda do what you want with it, and so I started teaching it to younger girls and making it a part of meetings. I like teaching. I\u2019ve always joked around that if the engineering doesn\u2019t work out, I want to be an art teacher, but it\u2019s not really a joke. I\u2019d maybe do it as an old grandma. I\u2019ll retire and be an art teacher.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
