Career goal: I wish to engage in a career that allows me to find creative, multidisciplinary approaches to current issues, especially those affecting biological processes and biodiversity in coastal regions. While at Brown, I hope to be able to conduct research on similar topics while also cross-registering at the Rhode Island School of Design to enjoy classes that incorporate principles of art and design into solving environmental issues.
Tell us about the teacher, coach or administrator who made a difference in your life: I would like to thank Mr. Dan Anderson for introducing me into the world of film. Although I may not necessarily pursue an education in film, the capstone experience led me into an exploration of visual media, techniques and experimental mediums that forever changed my thinking and creative processes.
