Tara

Hello! My name is Tara and I am an Electronic Media Major at UNI. In the past four years that I have been here I have learned that even though we are in a structured environment where grades are based on opinion, you should cling to your creative thoughts and ideas. It's important to try to express yourself as much as possible through your work and yet still contribute to something that can help you advance.

In the next 5 years I plan to gain knowledge in a variety of different mediums. I am not going to limit myself to just one thing but rather keep my options open. As long as I am some how involved in media I will be happy. I plan on attending Emerson in Boston and with an experience like that you tend to meet other people who know people and connections start to be made. Whatever comes of my future isnt set in stone but it has a focus and a direction. The ultimate goal is to be a great director/producer of films. I was very active in sports growing up and I really love the team effort. I enjoy coaching a team of players to something that is rewarding; it is something I hope I can contribute to my future career in film when working with a large cast and crew.

My biggest passion is creativity. I appreciate anything that stands out from another and has a genuine expression of who or what that person/object is. It's tough to be surrounded by media and trends and to still remain yourself as opposed to getting caught up in the excitement. Creativity is a pretty general word that somes up my idea of talents: Writing, Music, Dance, and Art. Those are the things that really inspire me to advance with this degree. -TM
