What can we expect with your work with these organizations? Through these organizations, I work to unite Emersonians through experiences that will further their academic, professional and personal goals.

Who or what inspires you? Without sounding too cliche, it is the people that I surround myself with that inspire me the most. Whenever I get to talk to someone about an exciting project they are doing, I cannot help but get excited about my own work at the same time.
Biggest accomplishment so far at Emerson? My biggest accomplishment at Emerson so far would have to be becoming the Facilitator for Fall 2013’s Freshman Class Council. Having participated in this program my freshman year, it was an honor to be selected as the new facilitator and essentially brought my Emerson career full circle.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years? It is hard for me to say exactly where I see myself in ten years, but I would like to think that I will be regularly working within the producing realm of the film industry.

If you could trade lives with a celebrity for one day, who would it be and why? I would love to switch lives with Kathleen Kennedy, legendary producer and President of Lucas Films, ltd.
