Michaela is from Denver, Colorado, and is a junior majoring in graphic design with a minor in art. Something that helped her decision in coming all the way across the country to Charleston Southern University is volleyball. Volleyball is not only helping her out financially but has made her trek from across the country worth it due to the relationships she has made and the lasting friendships.Michaela says she came from a very small high school, so coming to CSU was a change of pace and pushed her into meeting new people. She also loves the authentic Christian environment Charleston Southern encourages.
When asked if she has ever or would ever change her major, she was more than confident to say, no. Her love for Charleston Southern, the arts and graphic design have made her see that she loves photography, and she would one day love to be in a job that she can integrate her faith and that would not consume her but something she would enjoy.
She would love to be a shoe designer in the future. Michaela recalls the time she watched “P.S. I Love you.” The movie ended with the main character reinvented and designing shoes. By the end of the movie it clicked with her fascination with shoes, which she shares with her dad. Michaela loves college but has found that it challenges her and pushes her mentally and spiritually to help achieve her future goals. Michaela loves her classes, especially the photography class she took last semester with her favorite professor, Professor Speyers. She mentioned how she never really took pictures, but when she started the class, it opened her eyes to see the world in a different way.
Michaela loves life and lives it to its fullest, which is why she said she really does not have time for TV, but she used to love “Roswell,” a show about three aliens landing in Roswell, N.M., and their survival on earth.
