Kerry Elliot
Grad_Year: 2001
Program: Graphic Design
Well, after a year of doubts thinking of not getting a job in my
chosen career, it happened!! Someone was willing to give me the
chance of a lifetime to head up the design of two successful web
sites. With my two great employees and great boss/company, who could
ask for anything more! I am currently working on two sites, www.partskart.com
and www.national4wd.com based in Burlington. If I have to give one
word of advice to students at Cambrian, it would be: "If you
believe in yourself, you can achieve anything. And of course a company
that believes you can do it!"
