This month, we’re excited to spotlight Sandra Ramirez (Class of 2008), who graduated with a B.A. in English and earned her teaching credential at Vanguard’s program in Graduate Education.
Currently, while completing her M.A. in teaching, Sandra runs three on-line Etsy sites showcasing her creative designs. Check out Sandra’s stylish fashions here, created from recycled materials:

Sandra writes, “I received my BA in English with a minor in art from VUSC in 2008. The following year, I completed the credentialling program and started teaching English at a high school in the fall of 2009. After teaching high school for two years, I knew it was time to begin pursuing my artistic side. God gave me this beautiful gift and I knew I did not want it to go to waste. I decided to take the plunge into the cyber world this summer and the journey has been amazing! I have always seen lovely items on Etsy, and thought,’I can do that!’ God has blessed me tremendously and I have sold many scarves, craft supplies, and custom TOMS shoes around the globe! I was so excited when I made my first sale to the UK and Canada…now it’s the norm. What I love about Etsy is that sellers communicate with the customers. It’s a great avenue to intertwine my art degree with my English degree. I’m two classes away from finishing my MA in teaching.”
