Adrienne Menendez Mulkins
Program Administrator
Adrienne Menendez Mulkins is the Program Administrator for the Tisch Initiative for Creative Research. Her work facilitates inter-disciplinary and collaborative research led by Tisch students, faculty, staff, and alumni. Her previous role in Dean Allyson Green’s office allowed her to support special projects such as University-wide voter engagement efforts, Dean’s Faculty Grants, and the *This is Not a Drill* climate fellows.
A New York University alumna, Adrienne earned her Master of Arts in Cinema Studies from Tisch. Raised in South Florida, she graduated summa cum laude from Florida Atlantic University with a bachelor's degree in Film, Video, and New Media, and a minor in Theatre Arts. As a first-generation Cuban-American, daughter of a single mother with disabilities, and the first in her family to receive a graduate degree, Adrienne prides herself on centering students subjected to intersecting oppressions in all that she does. Her advocacy for students can be seen most prominently in her work co-authoring the HEAR US program and the Tisch Collaborative Impact Grant.
She is a glutinous consumer of narrative in all forms, a plant mom, an intermittent yogi, and is probably listening to a political podcast right now.
