Hello, my name is Bianca Rodriguez. I’m originally from Brooklyn but I moved to New Jersey with my family 8 years ago. I am a senior at Fairleigh Dickinson University and I am currently majoring in Graphic Design with a concentration in Print Design. I love to create and make people happy with my designs. I hope one day that my work would be able to be seen all around the world.
Brigid Atkins is a senior at Morristown-Beard School. After graduation in June 2021, she plans to double major in Civil Engineering and Environmental Science with the ultimate goal of building sustainable structures. Brigid has always been fascinated with nature and science and as a junior took an environmental science class, and won the Environmental Science Award. Last summer, Brigid worked on both the research project and the promotional calendar. In her free time when she is not at her dance studio, she can be found at home taking care of her three dogs, four chickens and pond full of koi fish.
