"With such a small, creative atmosphere, you’re really encouraged to push yourself, try new things, and collaborate with others on many levels. So not only do I leverage the skillsets
imposed but also the relationships afforded to me as a student and alumnus. So many Loyola grads are willing to help give you a leg up or a helping hand; all you have to do is ask!"
