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 DePauw, I was a Media Fellow. I was lucky enough to go off-campus for a semester to the New York Arts Program 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 DePauw's Pulliam Center for Contemporary Media) through that program.
The networks I built during my time at DePauw and my internships have been meaningful and led to acceptance to a MFA Documentation program at UC Santa Cruz. It all started at DePauw. 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 DePauw 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. DePauw was a community for which I'm grateful. I still have a lot of classmates I'm close to.
