“I chose CI because I knew that I wanted to contribute my creativity and passion for media, and to be a part of the conversation. I’ve always loved everything about the media industry, whether it be working in news or entertainment. Additionally, I wanted to combine my creative brain and analytical perspectives. Here I am four years later, honored to have a BA in Media Arts and Studies from the UK College of Communication and Information. Being a first-generation student, this is an incredibly huge accomplishment for me and I am just so grateful. I would not be where I am today without CI.”
