Who am I?My name is Jia Russo. I am 22 years old and a graduate with a degree in advertising at the University of Florida. I was born in Nanning, China, got adopted, and was brought to America. Right about when I was 5 years old, I was diagnosed with ADHD. I also have asthma and anxiety. Life hasn’t been easy with these conditions, but it hasn’t stopped me from living my life and chasing my dreams. Nowadays, I have learned to work with my disabilities and work my hardest every day.
Some of my passions include blogging, sewing, and making artwork. Inspired by what I love to do, I chose to go into the field of advertising. I wasn’t always an advertising major. Originally, I entered UF as a pre-pharmacy student. I had become very unhappy with my first semester and was struggling. One day I got into an almost fatal car crash and then I realized I really needed to make some serious changes in my life. The road I was heading down was not going the way I had hoped but after some deep soul searching, I had discovered advertising. I realized my love for both business and art were combined into this major. I hope to accomplish all that I can in my field and to most of all, influence and make a change. |
