Hometown: Spartanburg, SC

Major: Dramatic Arts and Cinematic Arts (UNC)

What are you committed to as a leader and how are you exploring that through RSLP? 

Fostering cultural and creative capital is at the root of my purpose, whether through performance, pursuing my own ventures, or channeling assets to support others. As a Robertson Scholar, dual-enrollment has equipped me with the means to explore the epicenter of the creative industry through Duke in LA and the UNC Hollywood Internship Program (intendedly); there, I plan to project lessons learned through continued engagement with on-campus visual arts resources (Lightwood Studios, Center for Doc Studies, Freewater Productions) with an aspiration to develop inclusive and decentralized storytelling platforms.
