I’m currently a sophomore studying communications with a focus on film. My goal is to graduate by 2027 or sooner.

How did you come across Western?

I first heard about Western when representatives from the school visited my high school in Walsenburg. I was immediately drawn to the campus’s culture and ideals.

One of the highlights of my experience at Western has been immersing myself in the vibrant campus community and participating in various events and activities.

What excites you most about your major in film?

I chose to pursue film because it’s my passion, and I believe in prioritizing goals driven by passion rather than mere survival.

What do you love most about the Gunnison Valley?

I absolutely adore the Gunnison Valley, particularly the diverse range of events that occur both in town, on campus, and in Crested Butte. I’m eager to continue exploring all the new experiences that Gunnison and Western have in store for us as valued members of these communities.
