She's committed to producing media that reveals and uplifts underrepresented communities, ideas, and norms — and is enthusiastic about entertainment that gives back through charitable partnerships. As an MFA candidate of USC's Peter Stark Producing Program, she's currently developing her thesis project, which uses a classic fable to explore themes of defining your role in the climate crisis and tackling climate grief. Rachel views environmental issues and climate change narratives as critically important and is always pushing for creative and unexpected ways to make these subjects accessible to a broad audience.

She is currently based in Los Angeles studying Fine Art as a junior at USC Roski with a minor in religion.

...is an undergraduate senior studying Communication at USC. Growing up in Puerto Rico, she quickly saw how her beautiful and vibrant island was deteriorating as a result of climate change. The natural disasters that have ravaged Puerto Rico and particularly impacted low-income and coastal communities have inspired Laura to learn about environmental and social-economic inequalities to help aid and rebuild local communities. She is always looking for ways to get involved, whether it be through simple beach clean-ups, volunteering at A Place Called Home, or as the vice president of Challah for Hunger.

...is currently an undergraduate freshman at Roski School of Art and Design and Viterbi School of Engineering. He enjoys expressing himself through craft—his favorite being mixed-media sculptures.

Often by adding twists, he makes fun/light-hearted yet conceptually deep pieces that stick with the audience and allow it to simmer in their subconsciousness. Surprisingly, although he works utilizing artistic media and expression, he considers himself more as an inventor rather than an artist. By introducing a unique twist through his lens, Andy invents sculptures that emphasize the mundane and how it significantly interacts with the everyday lives of everyone.

Prior to transferring to USC in the fall of 2020, she spent a gap semester volunteering in India and Vietnam as well as studying abroad in Spain. The variation of these encounters has highlighted different moments of self-awareness in a professional, personal, and global sense. She chose the combination of policy and the arts because she wants to highlight: the importance of the “in-between” stories that have not been acknowledged in today’s policies. Accordingly, throughout her academic career, she plans to conduct her own research on how community performing arts projects cultivate a more inclusive mission in the policy areas of sustainability, urban planning, and education. By having a nexus of creativity and theoretical practice in policymaking, she hopes to collectively lead with a more empathetic and realistic framework.

...is a designer who fell in love with fashion in the moment that she should have hated it: when she learned about its impact on the environment. Consequently, she fell in love with upcycling: sustainable design has since become a consistent part of her practice, and she’s always looking for ways to alter the production of clothes in benefit of our natural world.

...grew up in New York City, which was her first subject and became the inspiration for the many videos she made to capture the world around her, as a kid.

Traveling and talking with friends in different fields helped her grow up to be a warm and passionate person with a broad perspective.

The extended sense in dance, the rhythm of the violin, the implicity of poetry, exploration of different clays, applied theater, tea ceremony, special effects makeup, tie-dye and so on all become part of her work. She gained a lot of warmth from interacting with these people who love art and wanted to pass on such feelings to more people through her artwork. The big theme presented in her works is “relationship”, including human and nature, individual and group, abstract self and concrete people. She believes in the power of art in thought: it is necessary to rethink how people interact with nature physically, mentally or emotionally.
