Student Spotlight: Greta Rabbetz

Greta Rabbetz, 23, from Saskatchewan, is a first-year advertising and graphic design student studying at Humber’s Lakeshore campus.

She left her hometown to travel across the country to pursue more education. The program she is in is a two-year program.

Rabbetz previously studied graphic communications at Saskatchewan Polytechnic and decided to come to Ontario to continue expanding her studies.

Rabbetz said she chose Humber because of the curriculum.

“I wanted to do drawing, editing, copywriting and art direction, and all of those things were offered at Humber,” she said.

When thinking about future career options, Rabbetz said she is focused on using her education for local community issues.

“I’d like to do advertising for things that actually need advertising and that will help people,” she said.

She looks forward to possibly working for the Toronto Public Library.

“It would be great to be a graphic designer for the library,” Rabbetz said.

She said her studies in Saskatchewan have helped her with her courses. She also has experience in photography.

Rabbetz says Toronto is a big change for her, and very different from her home province.

“It’s hard to explain, it’s definitely different. I’m still trying to figure out what that really means,” she said.
