Q: Tell us a bit about yourself. 

I am an artist, with a history of performance arts and visual arts. Though I don’t plan to pursue the arts in the future, it is a big piece of who I am. I also collect bones to turn into jewelry, and my headshot is a photo of me and my latest finds! 

Q: Why do you want to participate in the Shad program/What are you most looking forward to?

Q: What motivates or sparks your curiosity in STEAM and/or entrepreneurship?

Q: How do you envision your future? 

I envision my future with a successful career; it’s my goal to be a medical examiner or mortician.
