My BFA in Dramatic Writing and a minor in Psychology have benefited me in many ways in my long-term goals. My background in Psychology prepared me to notice details and trends, and conclude where they originated/might go. My foundation in writing enables me to accurately tell, retell, or adapt the things I’ve noticed into a story, creating a means of communication and spreading a message.
