A STEM-designated bachelor of science

Credited as a joint degree between the Marshall School of Business and School of Cinematic Arts, the BCA program provides specialized expertise in the business and/of entertainment industries.

The Archer 
School for Girls

LOS ANGELES, CA

I graduated in 2021 with a weighted GPA of 4.6, and after three years in student council I was elected President of the Student Body.

I credit my small but mighty school for instilling intellectual confidence in me and giving me equally passionate & curious peers as role models for life. From my days in the Middle School Broadcast to my senior year Advanced Film class, Archer helped me realize my passion for cinema/tv could be more than just a hobby.

But mostly, I’m grateful for The Archer Film Festival

Co-hosting two years in a row, I interviewed industry professionals including Greta Gerwig and Geena Davis. I had the role of graphic design and promotional material for our most watched festival to date before emceeing, as well as being a film finalist myself. As a senior, I was also an Executive Board Member.
