Meet Our Students: Isabella 'Izzy' Baker

 

Isabella "Izzy" Baker

20

West Valley City


Current major: Graphic Communications. I chose this major since it is a transferable degree, unlike the other graphic design degree SLCC has, but overall, I chose it to go down the path of graphic design. 


What are your academic goals: My academic goals are to potentially transfer to a four year university.


Dream job: My dream job would be to own a tattoo shop and work as a tattoo artist.


Plan B: Work as a graphic designer. 


Why are you pursuing a higher education: Having a high school diploma isn’t good enough these days. So, getting a college education is the next step toward showing employers that you are able to work hard and have the skills necessary for the job. 



Why did you choose SLCC: I chose SLCC because it was affordable and close to home. I could have gone to a university, but I didn’t want to be in debt if I changed my mind on my major. 


What motivates you or inspires you at school or in life: Money motivates me. I don’t want to end up on the streets and I want to be able to give my future children the best life they can have.


What are some important life or career lessons you have learned so far: I learned that you can only rely on yourself to meet your goals, and that it’s ok to not be a people pleaser if it means that you are taking care of your mental health. 


What is the best advice you have been given or that you give others: The best advice that I have been given was to push forward now with school and get it all done, because this is just a sliver of the rest of your life, and if you don’t do it now, you may regret it later. 


Family: mother: Nicole, father: Leon, sister: Olivia, brother: Tyrus

Hobbies: Drawing, art commissions, watching YouTube, watching horror movies and hiking.

Volleyball Team Also Excels in the Classroom

The Salt Lake Community College volleyball program is one of the nation's top junior college programs on the court but the Bruins are also one of the leaders in the classroom. The program released its academic accomplishments from the 2018-19 academic year over the Memorial Day weekend, celebrating several individual and team accomplishments.
