Student Voice
Adriel Chavez-Sherman
Adriel Chavez-Sherman graduated from Norco College in 2017 with four different associate’s
degrees in Communications, Math and Science, Humanities, and Social and Behavioral
Studies. Adriel comes from a family with strong talents in the arts. Her mother does
amazing crochet work and her father is a fantastic artist and graphic designer. So
her favorite hobbies tend to include the visual arts, such as drawing, watercolor painting, and photography. Doing art, along with the
loving support of her friends and family, have helped her conquer anxiety and depression.
The experiences Adriel’s had with mental health are what drives her to want to publish
a coloring book geared towards helping people relax and unwind while they color.
Adriel was the Commencement Student Speaker for 2017. She hopes to parlay the different
educational backgrounds she’s gained from Norco College towards a future career in
her field of study.
