A little about me: 
Hi, my name is Ryan! I am a recent graduate of Scripps College. As a first-generation and low-income scholar, it was a great accomplishment to finish with a dual degree in Organizational Studies and Theatre. Please help support me and my passion to continue to bring the arts alive. 


Why I'm Raising Money: 
Theater gave me confidence in myself and my abilities. Initially, I worked building sets and setting up lights and audio equipment at Harvard-Westlake. As I explored more roles in theatre, I became invested in how the theatre is run.


At CGU, I will learn skills to generate new ways to create platforms for artists and support initiatives to build self-esteem with my managerial skills. With the amount of inequality and injustice in the world, I want to discover strategies to alleviate stress in the creative process and alter theatrical teaching styles to transform education. 


Through the personalized curriculum, I will begin the path towards being a leader within the arts community from the first day of class. 


It would be an absolute dream to go to grad school. If you have the spare change, then please consider donating to make my dreams come true. Each donation will go towards my tuition. I understand that now is a difficult time, so if you can't donate, then please share! 

Thank you again for taking the time to donate and/or sharing my story.
