Majors: Performing and Media Arts
I come from a theater company background where both performing and working backstage shaped how I understand collaboration, problem solving, and community. My experiences in technical theater taught me how to construct set pieces, operate consoles, troubleshoot under pressure, and adapt when everything goes wrong, but they also showed me how uneven access to knowledge and resources can be in creative spaces. That has made me deeply interested in equity, access, and lowering barriers to entry in environments that often rely on informal gatekeeping. I am drawn to the intersection of creative practice, design, and human-centered problem solving, especially in building systems that make technical skills, mentorship, and creative infrastructure more accessible to those who might otherwise be excluded. Whether in the scene shop, backstage during a quick change, or helping someone learn a new skill, I care about creating spaces where knowledge is shared, confidence is built, and people feel empowered to participate fully. Outside of academics, I love escape rooms, solving crosswords, and watching chocolate chip cookies bake through the oven door.
