Katherine Mullaney (Jonathan Law) is attending Parsons School of Design/The New School majoring in Communications design.
”Hello my name is Kate Mullaney and I’m majoring in communications design. The first year we are doing many different, required classes not necessarily in our major to experience a variety of art forms before delving into our major. Here is a sample of two of my favorite pieces so far.”

Caitlyn Perez (Platt Tech) is attending Full Sail University majoring in Creative Writing.
“The story of how I got into the arts and what drove me to wanting to pursue creative writing honestly starts with the first moment I learned to put pen to paper; growing up I loved creating stories and relied on my very imaginative dreams to help create characters and draw them. Even now, I still use ideas I get from vivid dreams I have to write. Though I loved to draw, traditional art itself wasn’t necessarily what I imagined myself doing.. I realized that writing was what I loved the most, and a career I could trust myself to be motivated to pursue.”

Joshua Cummings (Joseph A Foran High School) is attending the University of Connecticut majoring in Digital Media and Design.
