Description
A collection of poems concentrating on 15 small moments, tied together to explore the ardor, tensions, and fragility a relationship. Conceptions of language, teeth, domesticated dogs, and a car accident recur throughout the manuscript as a means of navigating this narrative and of questioning the role of memory in our lives.

Description
A student-run theatre company would give students more opportunities to perform. as well as opportunities to direct, design, and produce something that is not usually available to us. The main goal of the topic is to create a student-run theatre company that would be able to support three to four minimal, low budget productions each year that are directed, designed, and performed by the students. These productions could be works that are new or out of the mainstream, one-act operas or musicals, works written or composed by our own students, or even standard repertoire. Productions could be minimal, with the focus being on direction and performances, or fully executed with lighting, sets, and costumes designed by the students. Whatever the format, the goal is to provide students with more opportunities in music theatre and opera. There are several components to this project. The first component is forming the student organization \u2014 the theatre company. While forming a student theatre company allows for more creativity and room to try different things, we must also figure out how to operate within the limits of a campus club. The second component is producing a show. To get a taste what our club would eventually be doing, the committee is essentially' producing a show with the guidance of Lyric Opera Theatre faculty. The third component is writing the actual thesis and preparing for my defense. Because this project is not a traditional research project, the end result will be more than a thesis paper. I hope to be able to show that Basement Collaborative has developed into an organization that will be able to sustain past my time here at ASU.

The creative project titled “Culture and Business: Exploring the Etiquette Behind a Chinese Business Meal” focused on defining what is proper dining etiquette targeted at doing business with China. Through the use of 10 informational interviews with seasoned professionals who have experience working overseas in China, this project explored the key aspects of building relationships over a meal. Furthermore, online research was taken into account in order to provide a more up-to-date and well-rounded view. Trends that were discovered across categories include seating arrangements, gift giving, conversation topics, drinking culture, gender roles, and the actual act of eating. The goal of this project was to create an infographic and short video with the intention of educating American business students who are interested in working in China. It was found through the study that many Chinese professionals find the rules of business dining etiquette to be common sense. With globalization making developing relationships between American and Chinese businesses more accessible, providing established descriptions of how to properly conduct a business meal is essential to rising American professionals in order to ensure success in closing the business deal with their Chinese counterparts.

Description
The purpose of this project is to use powerful visual storytelling techniques to convey a social need and an effective solution. Guatemala is a third world country, where poverty is widespread and the birth rate is high. Among the most economically and educationally disadvantaged are the Mayan women. Arizona nun, Sister Marife Hellman, recognized the needs of this population and founded a school to serve them. Hellman's mission is to provide a quality education to those underserved, so they can become positive leaders in their native communities. The website and video materials produced for this thesis are meant to be used for fundraising purposes on behalf of the school. All funds raised will help Hellman's alumni launch schools in their native areas, giving access to education that has long been nonexistent.

Description
African American females must endure the distinct intersection of anti-black racism and misogyny, or misogynoir, which persists through the perpetuation of stereotypical images. The endurance of these controlling images adversely impacts young black girls in unique ways that often go unnoticed. Black and Pink: The Intersection of Blackness and Girlhood in America examines the historical origins of misogynoir in America and its continued impact on modern black girls using the lens of bell hooks' literature. This includes how black females are masculinized, sexualized, and impacted by Eurocentric beauty standards in America. and These themes are further explored through a series of watercolor paintings, inspired by hooks' memoir, Bone Black.

DescriptionThis is a reflection on Michael Frayn's Copenhagen, a theatrical experiment. It explores how directing affects the audience's experience of the text. It metaphorically correlates quantum theory and theatre in the round.

Description
Creative thesis written in conjunction with my Media Arts and Sciences capstone project, Relatables. Relatables are a series of collectible cards and pins that feature four fictional characters representing a diverse range of backgrounds and personalities. These characters serve as catalysts for open and insightful discussions, encouraging children to explore and reflect upon the beginnings of complex aspects of human experiences in a comprehensible manner. A QR code on each of the cards direct users to an interactive website that acts as a hub for exploration and discussion where users can access more detailed profiles of each character and resources for parents.

Description
This creative project is about the investigation conducted by Detectives Madison Fox and Mia Katz into the series of murders orchestrated by Professor Grimm at ChemScholars Institute. Professor Grimm uses his botany expertise to locate toxic plants all over the college campus, which he uses to kill the students who mock him, creating a reign of terror. The detectives use toxicology, forensic science, crime scene reports, and autopsy reports to solve the puzzle. An essential part of the investigation is toxicological analysis, which is used to detect toxic substances in the bodies of the victims and link their deaths to Professor Grimm's botanical knowledge. Forensic examination of the crime scenes provides evidence of the traces of poisonous plants found at the murder scene as well as the traces of toxins, and this helps in the reconstruction of how the crime occurred. Fox and Katz combine the various disciplines of forensic science to solve the case, bringing the professor to justice in the end. The interdisciplinary cooperation they demonstrated shows the importance of working together to pursue truth and justice, providing closure for the families of the victims.
