Favorite thing about USC Annenberg: The depth and breadth of people, ideas, and opportunities I have been connected with while being here. I am fortunate to be working with so many talented and generous mentors and friends, and am constantly being inspired by their creative and impactful multi-disciplinary pursuits.
