Acerca de mí
Hello, my name's Alina! Originally a biology major, I switched to the arts (particularly writing) as I have a knack for story building and creativity that I've wanted to make clear for myself and others.

Though I've had experience working with others on projects, this is my first time teaching people about something I know, so despite being on the shyer side, I'm excited to see what's in store for this part of my life.

I'm accepting of all students and believe in the idea that the best class is one that is open to discussion, thought, and critique. Since I'm quite tech-savvy, I'm almost always available to answer student responses, and want to provide them with the most and highest-quality information I can give them.

Outside of writing, I like to work on films, listen/play music, do art, read comics, cook, go to the gym, explore new places, and go out stargazing when I can.
Formación
Sophomore at Drexel University studying for a B.S. in Screenwriting & Playwriting with a minor in Film & TV Production. Total GPA is a 3.5, but my previous term was a 3.6.
Experiencia / Calificaciones
In the past, I've developed my own story for a summer Honors program and collaborated with the program director for my major on his own historical script about atomic Las Vegas at the start of the Cold War. I've also written my own scripts and plays throughout the course of a year now, and planning to develop two scripts into a play and a short film this winter quarter!
