Hello there. My name is Emma Rose. I live with my best friends, Zoey, and Eli in our cozy apartment. I have three sisters, Skyla, Megan, and Maci. I was born and raised in California, but I have lived in Oregon for most of my life. In the past decade I have visited almost half of the United States and eventually I plan on traveling all over the world. Due to my slightly nomadic background, I have been introduced to many different culture patterns and morals. I believe this has impacted me the most in grasping a better understanding of myself and what I want to give and get from the world. My primary interests are music, nature, art, and animals. I also love to snowboard, longboard, dirt bike, rock climb, slack line, photograph, draw, paint, sculpt, travel, and much more. I have been lucky enough to pursue many of my interests including cheerleading, military programs, and flying a plane. I have also done acting, sound production, and worked my way from stage crew to stage manager for my high school theatre program, along with managing a few small local performances. I was lucky enough to manage the largest production our theatre had ever performed. Unfortunately after the show, I released an emergency brake resulting in a $12,000 incident and some insurance problems for my school. Despite my mistake and newfound fear it generated, I continued to fulfill tasks and persevere through the remainder of my time there. I left theatre to get a job teaching me professional, organization, and leadership skills. A year later I earned a promotion and won best of the best for the year. Though I loved my job terribly, I moved to Eugene. I am now majoring in Multi-Media Design, and I just want to be happy.

My name is Caleb Lowery, I grew up in a small town called Oakridge. Oakridge is a awesome place to live, there are so many things to do. People call it the mountain bike capital of the world. I like to fish, hike, and play basketball. I’m a huge car guy, I love to work on and drive cars. I’m currently building a 06 mitsubishi lancer evolution. Building cars is definitely one of my biggest passions. My other passion is art. I love drawing and basically making any kind of art. My goal is to one day make my own graphic novel. It is my second year in the Media Arts program. I love it so far, storyboarding is so far my favorite skill I’ve learned. When I’m done with the program I hope I can use all the skills to start making graphic novels and to find a job in graphic design.I work part time at a local Dollar General store. I hate working retail, but it pays the bills. I also do a variety of odd jobs around town, and work with a landscaping business. I have a dog, his name is Boo. He is half english bulldog and half rottweiler. Thats pretty much everything about me, Have a good day!
Greetings! My Name is Melia and I grew up being told my name is a Hawaiian word for, ‘calm waters before the storm’ . Now at 18 through some Googling I think it’s just a flower and a hotel chain. I moved to Eugene maybe a month ago from Grants Pass Oregon. It’s about two hours south of here. Being new to town I don’t get out much, and still have yet to find a job. With that being said if anyone out there could fill me in on who’s hiring that would be great. I enjoy working and having a schedule it makes me really appreciate my down time. In my downtime I paint, roller skate, and or binge watch varies tv shows. I was once on a roller derby team called The Rogue Skate Cartel. When I find the time I’d throughly enjoy to get back into it. I love attending live shows, music, and art festivals. It’s part of what made me want to join the media arts program. I hope to one day be among the crowds or on stage as a videographer. I hope that this path will connect me to travel and far more experiences than any nine to five office job could ever offer.
Hi my name is Daniel but I also go by Deej (DJ). Daniel is my father’s name and it took me a while to get used to being called by that name when I started working at 17, but it feels normal and professional now and I don’t care anymore. I’m 26 years old and lived in Hawaii with my big family from 11 to 22 years old. I went to some college there to be a paramedic and became super interested in physiology. The idea to do the paramedic program was from a friend of mine, so I never completed the program. But because of what I learned there I delved into health, and ended up learning a lot about to apply new ideas and knowledge into action (I applied my knowledge to getting results in the gym). I think I cared so much because I used to have lower back issues in my freshman year of college and around the same time that I wanted to start putting on some size. It was pretty cool to understand why things worked the way they did. Working out also became a form of self expression for me because at the time I was a pretty shy person. I became a personal trainer this summer (2017). But I’ve always had a latent interest in arts and media and decided that exploring this interest would be very gratifying and the career move I’d enjoy the most. When I went to school before it was because I felt like I was, “supposed to”, and was just going with the flow. Now I think I’m going to put in the work this time because I’m doing something I really want to do!
