To Whom It May Concern,

My name is Yumo Liu, a sophomore at Bard College, where I am pursuing a double major in  Studio Art and Mathematics. I am also a new math tutor with the Bard Math Circle. I am writing to express my strong interest in the student employment position. My background, skills, and experiences align well with the responsibilities of Graphic Designer position, and I am confident that this role would greatly enhance my academic and artistic journey.

1. Practical Public Performing and Service Experience:

My background in both visual and performing arts is extensive. I have been a member of a school choir for ten years and have practiced the Guzheng, a traditional Chinese musical instrument, for five years, both of which involved public performances. Additionally, I have been a freelance illustrator and crafter for over four years, completing more than 200 projects for private clients and businesses on various online platforms.

2. Strong Academic and Technical Background:

With 34 credits and a 4.0 GPA in my latest semester, I have excelled in both art and math courses, earning a spot on the Dean’s List at the University at Albany in Spring 2024. My academic achievements have provided me with a solid foundation in

design and technical skills, preparing me to meet the demands of this role effectively.

3. Collaboration and Communication:

I have received strong recommendations from both art and math professors who taught me in Spring 2024 at the University at Albany. My collaborative spirit and effective communication skills are well-regarded. For further reference, you may contact Mr. Josh Tyler at jtyler@bard.edu, my college admissions officer, as I have waived my right to view these recommendations in the Common App system.

I am eager to contribute to your team and am committed to exceeding your expectations. Thank you for considering my application.

Best regards,

Yumo Liu (she/her)
