Hi, my name is Dylan Krapf and I'm from Long Island, New York. I'm a sophomore here at UT and I'm majoring in Marketing with a minor in Advertising.

Over time, I grew to love creating graphics for her posts and using my mind to find strategies for growing the account. So, I made the bold decision to switch my major and start a new educational career in marketing and advertising. I'm very excited to begin this class because I feel that it will allow me to dive more into designing and using my mind to create. It will also teach me tactics that I didn't know previously and will help me in my future career endeavors.
