Alexander Thomas Alex,

Actor / Comedian / Mixed Media artist.

It's very important to me that I always integrate the different elements of what I do into my work. I majored in Comedy Writing & Performance & minored in Visual Arts Management during my time here. Having the oppritunities to be able to work on multiple crafts really helped me understand myself not only as an artist, but also as a person and I'm so grateful for that. I'm so excited to walk commencement this May and see where the road takes me!

The goal is to continue my dual roles as an actor and visual artist. As well as paying back my tuition! I jest.

You can find samples of my art here at rawartists.org/alexusjarriell or my IG: @alexusjarriell

We are very proud of you and all that you accomplished! Your hard work and dedication have resulted in earning your degree!

Congratulations!
