My name is Delia and I have always run into the issue of my name pronunciation. As a quick lesson, the easiest way of pronouncing my name is by saying deli like a meat deli and then “uh.” So deli-uh.
I am currently a second-year student in the MSI program with barely any experience in the field. I was able to attend USF to gain a background in Anthropology and also have the opportunity to be an intern in the Special Collections. Currently, I still reside right by USF in Tampa, Florida, where you can see many other attractions like Busch Gardens or the Florida Aquarium.
Other than focusing on my work and studies, I love being a nurturer of my family, friends, and dependents through many different outlets. One of those outlets is baking for my family and friends, specifically bread. Any bread is a friend of mine, especially conchas!
Another outlet that I have been able to slowly grow is the dependents that I mentioned earlier. As you can guess from my mention of “growing,” those are my plants. I have slowly started to understand how to master my green thumb and have fifteen plants and counting! Some are flowering plants while others are my precious cacti and succulents.
Finally, another way that I have been channeling my nurturing side is through knitting for my family. Currently, I have a couple of projects for my aunts, that includes a couple of hats, a scarf, and a shawl for the current winter. It can provide an excuse to watch a show for the fifth time (*cough* Criminal Minds) or listen to your favorite podcast.
Although I am familiar with the digital world and its many ways to show media, I do not have any experience with the backend of it and I’m excited to learn about that from this class! I hope to learn from you all too!
Hello there Delia! I’ll make sure to try and pronounce it correctly when the time comes!
Also glad to see someone who doesn’t have much design experience. It can seem daunting but honestly it’s pretty simple when it comes down to it. I look foward to seeing what you make!
And I love your plant collection, even if we just get a little piece of it. I’ve been trying to grow some myself, largely just a moth orchid and an air plant right now. I also have a couple friends into knitting, wonder if this is a sign that I need to try and take up the hobby as well.
