What are 1-2 of your most significant academic/extracurricular/work experiences? Founding my Non-Profit, Hollywood Here, and partnering with major studios like Sony and Disney, Guest Starring on Nickelodeon (childhood dream come true!)
What is your ideal job in 10 years? MOGUL!
What led you to enroll in the MSLCE program? I came to the MSLCE program because I was tired of just figuring it out as I went. I’ve had some big wins….sold tv shows, launched a nonprofit, consulted for brands like Disney and Microsoft, but I also hit real walls when it came to scaling and sustainability. I didn’t want another film school. I wanted a place that could teach me how to lead, build, and grow with intention. MSLCE offered the perfect mix of creativity and strategy, and gave me the structure I needed to take everything I’ve built, and everything I dream of building, to the next level.
If you could have lunch with any person (living or dead) who would it be? Jesus. I have lots of questions!
