I have loved all forms of art for as long as I can remember. After taking art classes and developing a love for writing throughout my life, I eventually dared to dive into the world of film production. Coming to Biola from my little bubble in Dallas, Texas, where I had lived my whole life, was a huge step for me, but allowed me to discover my passions more fully.
Being a Cinema & Media Arts major and a Journalism minor has allowed me to combine my loves for both film and writing. In addition to being a part of the process of creating films, I enjoy watching and analyzing them. Writing for the Arts & Entertainment section of the Chimes has allowed me to do not only that, but learn so much more about writing about the arts. I am thankful to be a part of this team.
