About the recipient

I am a current student at The University of Texas at Dallas working towards earning a Bachelors degree in Emerging Media and Communications. I analyze communication opportunities to employ the most appropriate complex of media and rhetorical strategies to create and disseminate informative, entertaining and persuasive messages. Another strength is the ability to create and/ or apply digital content for existing and/ or emerging forms of media. I also adapt messages to audiences and technological constraints while retaining (and amplifying) the benefits provided by existing and emerging media. Also, I understand and anticipate the ethical implications of emerging media and their power to shape public opinion. Recently, I reached my lifetime allotment for financial aid and am scheduled to graduate in May 2014. Winning this scholarship takes a lot of pressure of me to find alternate sources of funding for my undergraduate degree at UT Dallas.
