About me
Recent graduate of Occidental College in the Eagle Rock area of Los Angeles. At Oxy I studied media theory, visual arts, communication, and music. My major, Media Arts & Culture, my minor in musicology, as well as personal experience has prepared me to be an active member of the creative community. I’m eager to use my developing knowledge of music, film, and art history tangibly in the industry. My long term goal is to grow towards a producer position, and I am currently finding my way into the creative field professionally.

    Bachelor of Arts (BA) Occidental College
    Los Angeles, United States
    During my academic career, I have made the effort to find a satisfying medium between my analytical writing skills and interest in the creative community. At Occidental College, I found this in the Media Arts and Culture major. My major focused on media studies through the lens of dense media theory; in this major I have been able to develop my academic writing skills while also developing my understanding of media practices. In my personal media practices, I have been able to cultivate a respectable following and community online that has provided an understanding of blogging, copy, and content generation.
