CTE Graduate Profile

Jessica Winter

CAREER PATH

I took the Computer Graphics & Multimedia with Mr. Terrel. This class really started my interest in this field. I loved every part of it and how many different things I learned in such a short period of time. After taking one year at GAVC, I went to Illinois State University and got my Bachelor of Science in Arts Technology. A few months after graduating, I received the job at Dealer Inspire as a Web Content Developer and have been working there since.
