Describe your college experience
My experience at NYU has been defined by getting involved early, taking advantage of opportunities, and building connections both on campus and across the city. The balance of academics and real-world experience has been central to my time here so far.
Tip for future students
Take advantage of everything happening around you. NYU gives you access to one of the most dynamic cities in the world, so go beyond the classroom: attend events, network with professionals, and try new things. Don’t wait for opportunities to come to you, create them by being proactive.
Favorite class
Dealmaking in the Entertainment Industry. It gave me a practical look at how projects get financed and structured, and how creative ideas move from concept to reality through the business side of entertainment.
Career goals
I want to work at the intersection of media, entertainment, and business. My goal is to produce films, campaigns, and creative projects that reach large audiences while also shaping culture. Longer term, I hope to build a company that develops original content and partners with brands to tell meaningful, high-impact stories.
Ideal way to spend a free night
Going out with friends, finding a good spot for dinner, and then hitting a concert or night event. I like when nights feel spontaneous, whether that means exploring the city or ending up at someone’s apartment with music and good conversations.
