Year - Sophomore

Major - Media Arts

W-Wildcat Moment: My proudest moment at Chico State was when I was a part of a panel for future REACH mentors and I was able to provide feedback as well as personal experiences that would help them become amazing leaders.

I-Involvement: I have been involved in REACH and have kept in touch with them after my first year because they helped me greatly my first year to feel less alone during the transition of high school to college.

L-Live: My hometown is Napa but I was born and partially raised in Los Angeles so I like to say I have two hometowns.

D-Degree: I am currently pursuing a degree in Media Arts with a focus on production and I hope to become a director.

C-Chico: I chose Chico because it felt like a tight knit community that felt cozy and the campus captured my heart with the greenery and feeling of being hugged by the trees.

A-Aspirations: My biggest dream is to be a director and work with actors that I admire. I would like to create films that move people and make them feel seen through the screen. I want the audience to see themselves in my characters and empathize with them to the point where if my characters get hurt they feel it on a personal level.

T-Tell: I aspire to be a support system for others I never want to make someone feel like they can’t count on me or like they have no one to talk to because I’m here and as long as I’m around I will make it it my mission to lend my shoulder for tears and ears to listen and my brain to understand and empathize.
