Bio

My name is Erika Vega Torres. I live in Queens. I first went to high school at Brooklyn Communication Art and Media (BCAM) and after I transferred to Academy for Environmental Leadership High School. I discovered that I like to draw and also had an interest in photography when I went to BCAM. Ever since I kept on working to get better at drawing and photographing.
I’m now currently enrolling at New York City College of Technology. My major is communication design. I’m still not sure what I’m leaning towards in the field of communication design but I know what are my interests. Being at City Tech I can find out more on who I want to become in the near future.
