Minnesota North – Mesabi Range Eveleth Campus
Education: Two-year associate degree in graphic design
Current Employer: Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)
Position: Editor II
Favorite College Memory: An assignment in year one was to make a movie trailer-style edit. The days spent filming those will stick forever in my mind. From running barefoot in the snow for a horror trailer to drooling over a donut for a peer’s comedy trailer. I remember the sheer amount of creativity from all of us due to that assignment.
Advice to New Students: Always be a fiend for knowledge. Have an outlet beyond your work to recalibrate/refresh yourself often. Love your situation- love where you are!

Minnesota North – Mesabi Range Eveleth Campus
Education: Graduated from Mesabi Range Technical College back in 2012, now known as Minnesota North College. Fun fact: I commuted from Duluth every day to Eveleth for class, now that’s dedication.
Current Employer: Wonderhorse out of Duluth.
Position: Owner and Creative Director
Favorite College Memory: One of my favorite memories was learning the ins and outs of an offset printing press and how that relates to design. Once I graduated, I was really set on becoming a press operator. Unfortunately, that’s right about the time the recession hit, therefore no positions were open. A year or so later I landed a freelance design position with OTA. The rest is history.
Advice to Students: Be a sponge, absorb as much as you can from your professors, your boss, and your peers. You learn a lot in class, but as soon as you step foot in your first career, that’s when the real growth happens.
