My mother, Karen, graduated with a Bachelor of Arts and worked as a teacher for 10 years before she retired to start a family. My father, Steve, received a Bachelor of Business Administration and is the owner of a successful business in which my sister Kayla works as a marketing executive. She acquired her Bachelor of Science in Management from UHCL, followed by her Master of Business Administration from Sam Houston State University, the first in our family to earn a master’s degree. My major is in communication with a concentration in graphic design. I plan to pursue a career in the graphic design field and hope to one day open my own firm.” – KYLE[/vc_dropcap]
