My name is Sarah and I am a 4th-year Digital Media Studies major and Studio Art minor at the University of Rochester in Upstate New York. In my interdisciplinary major, I have learned what it is like to bridge media history, theory, and practice into technology/production such as photography, graphic design, UI/UX design, film, computer science, and studio art. Besides my major, I consider myself to be an influencer and an includer. I love to take leadership opportunities whether that is through non-profits, volunteer, or clubs, and to be able to speak up and make sure others are heard and influence and transform the space I am in.
