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.
