Dr. G changed my experience in a positive way. She helped me make that transition to the American classroom and really encouraged me academically. I hold her close to my heart.

Community Builder. Documentarian.
At С̹½ÊÓÆµ, I was a Media Fellow. I was lucky enough to go off-campus for a semester to the where I had two internships that opened up a lot of opportunities for me in the field of documentary production. I met JP Olsen (now director of С̹½ÊÓÆµ's Pulliam Center for Contemporary Media) through that program.
The networks I built during my time at С̹½ÊÓÆµ and my internships have been meaningful and led to acceptance to a MFA Documentation program at UC Santa Cruz. It all started at С̹½ÊÓÆµ. It was scary coming from Mexico City to college in the US. My first contact was Loutfi Jirari, who convinced me to apply. I came to С̹½ÊÓÆµ having never set foot in Indiana before.
A professor who championed me and meant a lot to me was Leigh-Anne Goins. "Dr. G" changed my experience in a positive way. She helped me make the transition to the American classroom and really encouraged me academically. I hold her close to my heart. С̹½ÊÓÆµ was a community for which I'm grateful. I still have a lot of classmates I'm close to.
