BA in Individualized Studies Program
I am a passionate autonomy-seeking womyn-warrior in hot pursuit of her own desire, while fighting against all forms of imperial delirium. I consider myself a collective - a network of support and resources, which includes my family, friends and comrades. I am a life-long learner, forever open to and inspired by all things creative. I am curious about physics and metaphysics. I'm adept at music and sports. I love theory and performance. I am interested in the problematics of representation and the everyday. I particularly enjoy deconstructing gender, culture and sexuality. I like making objects, making sounds, making meaning. I often work with found objects, found sounds and found meanings. I also like clay, paint, pencils, ink, computers and digital cameras. Most of all, I am interested in living the life of my own choosing, and defining the terms and conditions of my own consciousness and creative freedom.
I am excited to be a member of a community such as Goddard that would dare to dream of an otherwise society, let alone embody one. Such an environment reminds us that learning is a truly ethical experience. The freedom and responsibility of being at the center of one's own learning commits us to defining who we are, who we can become, and why.
Educational Background: Born in Manila, Philippines. Did elementary/secondary/ post-secondary schooling in Montreal, Canada (completing a B.F.A. at Concordia University, and an M.Ed. at McGill).
