About Me
Spent half my time at Oberlin being indecisive about my major and half my time being gay. Became a neuroscience major because I had to pick something. Thought about transferring to an art school. Ended up adding a major my senior year after an impulsive last minute decision to study film in Prague. Now I have a double major in Neuroscience and Cinema Studies with a Studio Art minor. Still questioning everything. Still gay.
Study Abroad
I studied abroad at Prague Film School in Prague, Czech Republic
Campus Jobs

Favorite Place
Keep Cottage because it was the first place on campus that felt like home.
Favorite Class
Experiments in Moving Sound and Image (CINE 322) because Rian Brown is an incredible professor and the class made me think about filmmaking differently, inspiring me to create art in new ways.
