I am so happy to get involved and connect with people during my time here in Ithaca. This year, I will be volunteering at Beverly J. Martin Elementary School creating art projects with young students. Previously, I have volunteered in children’s theater and have always loved working with kids to foster creativity and kindness. On campus, I’ll be participating in ICTV, Women In Communications, Tap Club, Comedy Club, and IC Paint and Sip. I’d like to work on educating people in the college-age community on brain health and preventative measures for Alzheimer’s and Dementia while reducing the stigma around cognitive decline. My goal is to cultivate empathy. As an artist, I can capture empathy in a meaningful way and build impactful representations of the human experience and the potential of our minds to either reach beyond reality or find beauty in simplicity. I aspire to use film, writing, music, and other creative practices to bring joy, love, and connection to others. I want to represent stories with depth and complexity, bringing a sense of understanding and relatability to audiences.
