Who Will I Meet?
Becca Graves
I want to express my own story and represent others’ stories to contribute to participation in and understanding of culture. Roberts has helped me to learn techniques and develop my faith through an artistic lens, producing content that promotes empathy, equality, and other Christian values.
In addition to my courses, I participate in the Art Club and Ecology Club, where I express creativity and help reduce food waste on campus. One of my film projects was a semi-finalist for the Nikon International Storytellers Scholarship in June 2018. .
