In a group performance about the creation and impact of the foreign affairs policy The Truman Doctrine, I, along with two friends, advanced to the state competition in Austin, Texas.
Goals and interests
- Career goal
After my academic career has concluded, I intend to pursue a career as a fiction novelist/playwright while working in a journalism position for a major news publication, preferably The Wall Street Journal or The New Yorker.
- Graduate school interests
After graduating from Oberlin College in 2024, I will apply to Tisch at NYU where I will hopefully earn my MFA in playwriting.
- Outside the classroom
I enjoy reading, especially plays and southern gothic literature (Cormac McCarthy is the greatest author of all time). I also like to ride my bike and play piano, and whenever I am doing none of those things, I like to spend copious amounts of time playing with my cat.
