This project investigates costs assessed to students with or without their knowledge. The goal is to determine whether students are not only aware of tuition fees, but believe such fees are justified. It also seeks to make students aware of resources around them on campus.

The Birth of a University is meant to demonstrate how Eastern Washington University is an island for racial diversity in an area of Washington state that is very much predominantly white. The university has received over $7 million in budget cuts in two years that is being blamed on the falling student retention rate. Why is it that students aren't returning? Could it be that since students have to venture off campus and into Cheney or Spokane for many living necessities that students that are people of color would rather go to a school in an area that feels safer and more inclusive?

Inspired by my personal experiences with a lack of support from EWU, my project includes an open letter to the university and an anonymous space for students to share their experiences. I encourage fellow students to write or record their own open letter to EWU and post it on the site.

My project is concerned with the idea that the present is haunted by its unrealized futures. To explore this haunting of the present by the futures it destroyed will itself into existence my website will perform as a sort Spacial-Specter. It will be a time and space bending telling and retelling of EWU's history aimed at creating a unique user experience that undermines the user experience.

Little Women of Horrors
This game explores the tropes surrounding women in horror and reveals the ways students are stuck in a static literature curriculum that won’t step away from canonical texts or recognize the pedagogical value of video games in teaching.
Location - Patterson Hall
This project consolidates a number of articles, from the Easterner, dealing with protest. It then, continually, takes these quotes further out of context, first becoming absent of author and temporality, then devoid of its original meaning, and lastly devoid of (nearly) all meaning. I am attempting to illustrate how, through interpretation, we essentially destroy and recreate the past to fit our perspectives.
