ANSWER

Short Term Goal

Right now my main focus in life is to successfully graduate from college with satisfactory grades whilst figuring out my future studies in the UK. I also wish to explore as many job offers working as freelance before flying out to finish my studies. Studies apart, I wish to explore my personal creativity which may open new opportunities in future jobs. In the next year, I wish to adapt towards the creative industry especially in the UK. I intend to find a new side of myself as a person, an artist, a designer while finishing my bachelors.

Long Term Goal

My biggest dream is to become a successful makeup artist, working as a team which provides all sorts of needs in beauty and photography. I prefer working in a photoshoot setting, which is why I aim to create my own team of photographer/videographer, creative director, MUA, hair stylist and other criterias needed to create a production team. After finishing my bachelors in graphic design, if I have successfully made a stable income I aim to study cinematic makeup in Hollywood. However, if life presents me with a better path in graphic design I hope to be able to work for a creative studio as an intern while slowly creating my own identity working as freelance.
