My name is Clarissa Noel, only two things have ever come naturally to me, art and cats.  Unfortunately for me, life consists of more than just art and cats. Fortunately, my parents forced me through school and (somewhat) successfully assimilated me into society.

​

I graduated from Louisa-Muscatine (L-M) High School in 2005. I studied at Southeastern Community College (SCC) in Burlington, IA, and Muscatine Community College (MCC) in Muscatine, IA I received an Associate of Arts from MCC in 2008.

​

I started work as a DSP for adults and children with disabilities in 2006 for New Choices, Inc., and I continue to do so. I also worked as a Job Coach with Goodwill Employment Services on Muscainte in 2023 and 2024.

​

........and after taking the scenic route in life and around my 34th birthday I decided I wanted to change my life.........

​

In August 2024, I completed the web design certification program through the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA).  I anticipate earning my bachelor's degree in graphic design and media arts from Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU).
