“I think the freedom to take classes in so many different departments gave me a really nice baseline of knowledge across many different topics.”
Major: Film and Television Studies
Lives in: Brooklyn, NY
What work looks like: “I do standup, television writing, acting, and social media content.”
What he loves about it: “I love my autonomy. I build my schedule and am very in control of my time. I love that if I have an idea, I get to try it out to its full extent without anyone having to give me permission.”
What he gained from a liberal arts education: “I think the freedom to take classes in so many different departments gave me a really nice baseline of knowledge across many different topics. That enabled me to approach my work and my life with the ability to create observations that are unique, yet relatable. It was important for me to learn about the world beyond the small state I grew up in. I think my time in Burlington really made me an adult. I learned how to build and design my own life in a way that works for me and empowers me to be a useful, happy individual.”
