Following Her Passion – Cecilia Stagni’S Career Transition From Engineering To Art

For Cecilia Stagni, art was never just a hobby—it was a lifelong passion waiting to take center stage. Originally from Italy and trained as an electrical engineer, Stagni moved to San Diego in 2009, where she found herself drawn to the Art and the Creative Process Professional Certificate program at UC San Diego Extended Studies. What began as an artistic side pursuit alongside her graduate studies soon became the seeds of her true calling and the foundation of a career transition. Immersed in a rigorous and inspiring curriculum, Stagni realized that her future belonged not in engineering but in the expressive world of art. https://extendedstudies.ucsd.edu/news-events/extended-studies-blog/following-her-passion-%E2%80%93-cecilia-stagni-s-career-transition-from-engineering-to-art
