Tykia Lumpkin

I am a graduate student with a Bachelor's degree in Marine Biology with a Minor in Art. I am incredibly passionate about the Arts and Sciences field and am not afraid of traveling or tackling new horizons for I have studied abroad in Germany for a time. I hope my skills and enthusiasm can one day be put to it's fullest use as I pursue my career.

I am currently pursuing my Master's degree at Kennesaw State University in the field of Digital Animation as I wish to live comfortably in my later years in life.
