My Story
My name is Trent Randall Stafford. I was born on June 12, 2001, in Naperville, Illinois. My parents are named Amanda and Jason Stafford; I also have a sibling named Mackenzie Stafford. I work as a Server at Chili's; however, I am proficient in all Front of House roles.
​
I attended Old Post Elementary School, Thompson Junior High School, and Oswego Senior High School, solely in Oswego, Illinois. During my time at Oswego Senior High School, I spent a significant amount of time learning the craft of graphic design and screen-printing. Under the instruction of Marie Strejc-Wood, I fell in love with graphic design and its subtle intricacies. I have developed a passion for graphic design and its business by attending numerous art shows, SkillsUSA competitions, and more.
​
Presently, I have elected to double major in graphic design and marketing at Aurora University to expand my skillset in two interrelated fields—currently seeking a marketing internship. Marketing has become a newfound passion for me; I never grow tired of learning new concepts to effectively market products and services to customers. Particularly fascinated with Marketing to Mindstates by Will Leach, I have dedicated time to examining the different Mindstates of humans and what I, as a marketer, can do to appeal to said Mindstates.
Additionally, I enjoy spending time outdoors, reading, listening to podcasts, and meeting new people in my free time.
