What do you love most about being a cinema major at point park?
I love being able to pursue what I love to do in general. Point Park is definitely the right place for me to be doing it, though. The cinema faculty really let you experiment creatively, and discover who you are as an artist. All of my professors have also been really supportive of my growth over these past two years. Each of them are really accessible as people, making the learning/creative process that much easier.

What has been a favorite experience this semester?
I would have to say it was when I had the pleasure of meeting, and interacting with one of my idols: Stephen Chbosky. The author/screenwriter/and director of “The Perks of Being A Wallflower.”
