My name is Khushi and I study at Montmorency college where I am a student in the program of multimedia integration. In this program, I am currently learning a lot of different things like photography, web development, audio and photoshop. Later in the program we will also be learning 2d animations, videos and much more. Through my studies I can learn problem solving while looking a line of codes as well as when I am looking at picture. I can also develop skills such as working in teams and communicating. This program can lead to different career paths like animators, photographers, programmers, web development and many more.
