Ideal job in 10 Years: To manage a non-profit company that promotes and advocates arts and culture to children in the Latino community.
What led you to enroll in the MSLCE program at Northwestern? The advantage of being a program that offers practicum courses that will continually push the boundaries of my artistic and entrepreneurial thinking, the opportunity to create new relationships and network and the learning-by-doing with the internship.
What are you most looking forward to about the MSLCE program? I am looking forward to knowing and learning from the professors. They all come from different backgrounds and I want to absorb as much as I can from their experiences and knowledge.
