Advertising and public relations senior Meera Patel is graduating this Saturday, May 8. Throughout Patel's time at the University, she has found her passion in web design. After starting classes in the CoJMC, she immediately knew that she was in the right spot.
Since then, she has been involved with CoJMC club Creative Commons, and she's been the web designer for the depth reporting class Climate Change Nebraska since 2019. She is also currently the web designer at the student-led Jacht Agency, where she does a variety of work including website building and layouts.
In Patel's free time, she enjoys cooking and adding twists to recipes to create unique and flavorful dishes to post on her food Instagram account "Shorty Conquers the Kitchen".
“I started the account a couple of years ago but just recently started taking it more seriously and working to create better content," Patel said.
After graduating in May, Patel hopes to find a full-time web design and UX/UI design position. She is also planning on doing some freelance work while also continuing to grow her food Instagram account.
Patel believes that the best thing about being a Husker is the connections you make and the opportunities you have to grow.
"There’s so much that the CoJMC has to offer, so get involved in clubs and take advantage of any opportunity that comes your way.”
