Global Challenge: Utilizing Emerging Media to Reshape Education and Storytelling

Bio:

I was born and raised in San Francisco, California and am currently a sophomore majoring in Integrated Design and Media and minoring in Business of Entertainment Media and Technology. I am passionate about visual and immersive storytelling and aim to leverage emerging technologies to enhance the fundamentally human act of telling stories. I work as a production assistant at the NYU media commons where I have gotten to learn more about and experiment with motion capture technologies. I am also one of the marketing directors for Stern’s Luxury and Retail Association and a graphic designer for their in-house magazine which have been amazing opportunities to engage with the broader NYU community. In my free time I play club lacrosse here at NYU and coach youth lacrosse in San Francisco. I also love exploring New York's various museums.
