The Creative Career Chat series has officially come to an end, and this last chat was one to remember! Horizonte graduate Ricky Arriola from graced us today and left our students with so many gems for self-empowerment, self-realization, and most importantly self-reliance. He reminded students that a strong team is vital for success in business, that they have to create an environment that people want to be in, and that the more skills your have, the more valuable you become to any job!

Ricky, thank you so much for all you do for our community and for being a source of inspiration in hope for the Horizonte community! We are so grateful for our community partnerships!

Horizonte Family, last week's Creative Career Chat was dynamic! Art designer Holly Adams discussed the importance of artists in our community and the pivotal role they play as changemakers in the community, that AI can't substitute the knowledge you gain, and that every design job has a problem waiting to be solved. She also encouraged student to finish school now (it will be worth while) and that 90% of success is showing up!
