_____________________________________________________________________<\/h3>\n

What is your career now?<\/span><\/h3>\n

I currently work full-time as a graphic designer for a promotional products company as well as for myself, Alas Creative (https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AlasCreativeDesign<\/a>). Previously, I worked as a Spanish teacher (K-8) as well as a tour director.<\/p>\n

What does a typical week in your position look like?<\/span><\/h3>\n

I work from home (I did so before the pandemic). I typically work 8 am -5 pm in my home office with a lunch break somewhere in there. I love it though because my hours are flexible. If I have an appointment or need to pick up my kid, I can just leave and make up the time earlier in the day or later at night when the kids are in bed. Practically, in a typical week, I create logos for companies, design brochures, create mocks for products, design custom packaging, design email advertising for our company, design business cards, letterhead, envelopes, and more.<\/p>\n

What are the most valuable skills you learned in your major?<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
The most valuable skill I learned was to keep on learning. There were always workshops and networking opportunities across all three areas of study I focused on and they were the most important part of my education. I am constantly learning new skills to hone my craft and stay on top of the best resources to be the most productive with my workday.<\/div>\n
\n
\n

What is your advice to other Humanities students?<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n
My best advice to students is to get out of the classroom. Find opportunities to use your language skills – interpret elementary school conferences, help with refugees who are resettling, get connected online. Propel yourself into your field – don’t wait for others to suggest things.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

How did\/do your language studies influence or contribute to your current occupation?<\/span><\/h3>\n
I was able to teach Spanish for a few years in between other jobs. I am now able to help with my own job retention by using my skills to appeal to new clients who would like their files (signage, brochures, etc.) in Spanish.<\/strong> I can also gain new clients of my own who maybe don’t speak English at all.<\/div>\n

How does it contribute to your life outside of work as well?<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

My Spanish skills helped me find my husband – just kidding. However, he did say it was very appealing that I could communicate with his family, some of whom don’t speak English very well. I have been able to raise my two kids bilingual (a skill I wish I had earlier). I have also made a ton of new friends! I connected with other moms who are raising their kids bilingual and we formed a group that met weekly. Our kids got to speak Spanish with each other and we all formed new bonds.<\/p>\n

My last comments are that foreign language skills will never go out of style.<\/strong> They will never be a skill that loses value. Unlike other jobs which may be outdated or replaced by computers, the human element of language cannot ever be replaced.<\/p>\n
