This semester, I’ve interacted with cross-curricular aspects that have provided unique learning opportunities in reflecting upon fields I normally wouldn’t have correlated with each other. The greatest example of this is found between my work within this course (WRIT-150) along with my that in my “Art of Theatrical Design” class…

After holding off on writing this post for months, it’s time to talk about my change in major. On February 7th, I officially changed my major from a BFA in theatrical design to technical direction. While it practically is just a simple shift of emphasis with a fancier title, I…

My journey as a creative intellectual has involved an exploration with many twists and turns over the past nineteen years, yet it has led to a place in which I finally feel confident about labelling my current intersectional identity.
