What are 1-2 of your most significant academic/extracurricular/work experiences? My most significant work experience has been leading the communications strategy of a special project called Art Design Chicago. Working to uplift Chicago based artists through a mission oriented project has been fulfilling and has pushed me to be creative in ways I hadn’t explored previously.
What is your ideal job/role in about 10 years? My Ideal job/role in 10 years would be in creative directing. I would love to build a business or work for a business that focuses on building a creative collective to produce projects from all types of mediums. My background in digital media as well as performing and visual arts has shown me that artists in this day in age no longer have to stick to one medium. I hope to grow in a company or ensemble where we can push the bounds of traditionally set seasons in order to nurture creativity that may come in unexpected ways.
What led you to enroll in the MSLCE program at Northwestern? The MSLCE program offered a sense of understanding to the broadness of possibility I sought while also catering to the niche field that I practice within. I felt that Northwestern took the time to truly look at that scope of what creatives are capable of and beyond and that is why I chose this program.
If you could donate one million dollars, which cause/organization would you choose to support? I would donate one million dollars to Center for Reproductive Rights.
Where are you from? Cicero, IL, United States of America
