credits

  • Barbara Butts for making sure I didn’t quit theatre.
  • Gabrielle Strong for being an incredible lighting design mentor.
  • Sara Sood for demonstrating you don’t have to be a cishet white man to succeed in CompSci.
  • Dean Lori D. Barcliff Baptista for being there for me at the lowest point in my undergraduate career
  • most definitely NOT John Haas – my academic advisor – who did nothing but oppose my growth at Northwestern and misrepresent the industry. I hope you grow as a person and do better for future Northwestern students.
