Dean's Award for Best Overall Performance in the MPC, 2022 - This award is given to the graduate student with the highest overall GPA, upon completion of the MPC program.

When I started graduate studies, I challenged myself to aim for a B. As a perpetual "A+ or bust" kind of kid, this was tricky for me. And you know what? I would give myself a B on my goal of aiming for a B. I definitely worked my ass of during the year I was a student, but I standby the fact that I did project that interested me, and put more time into what I cared about, and breezed over the rest. I tried to sneak fun in at every turn as well.

Turns out, these are the exact techniques that will lead to an A+ in graduate school, as illustrated by me coming out on top of my class of 25 bright communicators. Here are my remarks from the ceremony.

It was truly a gift to spend a year expanding my critical thinking and communication skills.

Thanks to my friends and family, including Matt and Nick who are here tonight. 

Thanks to Dr. Caroline O'Brien, Chair of the School of Performance and to all my former colleagues across campus.

To my 24 extraordinary MPC classmates. Thank you and congratulations.

To all professors and administrators at the School of Professional Communication.

To Dave, thank you for your support and your kinds words tonight.

After my undergrad in acting and 6 years in various professional fields, I knew a return to more academic pursuits would be challenging. What I didn't anticipate was how much FUN it would be.

To my colleagues here who are current students - I strongly encourage you to take your studies into your own hands and follow what delights you. I have a sneaking hunch that in leading with curiosity you'll have more fun, and that having more fun may even be a key to success.

Thanks again, and congrats to my fellow recipients!

In 2021 I took the Chang School's Certificate in Inclusive Media. Here I learned live re-speaking (a captioning technique to make live video material accessible to the Deaf community), and I specialised in Audio Description (an assistive tool to make visual cultural information available to people who are blind or experience low-vision). 

Here are some examples of my Audio Description work.

I really liked theatre  school. I did well, learned lots, and got to play cool roles.  I met some of my best friends.  The biggest lesson I am still learning is to do all the prep work - go ham on it - then when it comes time to perform, don't try to show the audience your prep work. Just play. Plays are called plays for a reason.

I'll share my Bunny Ball speech, if I can find it. I was elected valedictorian of my class of 22 actors.
