I am enamored with the vision of FIU Miami Beach Urban Studios and the way it seeks to utilize community engagement, and expertise afforded by its facilities and location to be at the forefront of teaching, research, and service in art, design, performance, and communication. I hope to spotlight the amazing faculty at FIU and add my voice to a vision that is forward thinking and beneficial to Miami.
