Why PS @ NYU? 

I chose Performance Studies because I am deeply passionate about the performing arts, writing, and academia. This interdisciplinary field offers me the freedom to explore these passions and tailor them to my specific goals. Studying performance through an academic, historical, and cultural lens allows me to apply a nuanced perspective to my journalistic writing. This field of study constantly encourages me to consider the various intersections within performance, simultaneously broadening my perspective and exciting me.
