“Northwest taught me how to be confident in myself. I came to school with low self-esteem and I wasn't confident in myself or the skills I had. Over time, it showed me how to be okay with myself.”

With dreams of becoming a music producer, Abram knew he would have access to the tools at Northwest and knowledge needed to make his goals a reality.
Classes like Sound Design taught him how to hone in on the details of sound mixing and create more complex and professional products. At Northwest, he gained self confidence and discipline to experiment in various media, eventually integrating videography into his skill set. After graduation, he hopes to create music and video content for advertising agencies.
Abram believes his connections with faculty and staff, coupled with the leadership skills he learned as a resident assistant, made him career ready, day one.
