Michigan State University, Coursera 2023
Pixel Art for Video Games Certification
Focused on video game art, mainly pixel art but also covering major art principles. In this course, I learned how I could refine my art to make it look more appealing and overall more usable. I took this course as a way to expand my artistic side while also gaining merit and I'm glad I took it because it opened me up to be more artistic regardless of medium.

Certified Entry-Level Programmer
This certification is a cumulation of my work in my independent studies class as a Junior in High School.

The process to pass this certification was a grueling one but coming out it gave me a much better grasp on programming as a whole.
