Hello fellow classmates! My name is Tiffany Lallkissoon, I was born in the Bronx, raised in Brooklyn and currently living in Queens. I am 28 years old and the oldest child to immigrant parents. After many years of taking college courses, changing majors, taking breaks and trying to figure out my life, I found that art makes me happy. I achieved an Associates in Fine arts at LaGuardia Community College this past summer and now I am here working towards my Bachelors in Communications Design. I am walking into uncharted territories considering that I never thought I would pursue an art major. So as I continue to embark on this adventure, I am looking forward to getting to you know you guys and gals, soaking in all that I can and continuing my path to artistic happiness! Thank you for letting me share some tidbits of my life.

My name is Karen Ensaldo Clara and I am interested in Graphic Design. This is my second semester in City Tech and I liked it so far. I love to draw even though I’m not a great artist but that is why I practice everyday. I enjoy taking photos and hanging with my friends but what I most enjoy is to sleep at least nine hours. I am so happy to be in this class and learn a lot from the professor and from my classmates.
