In what channels do you express your creativity?
I express my creativity through photography, film, painting and writing.
How do you express your creativity in your role at LSU? What about at home and in
other activities?
I am the Marketing Chair for Bengal Bound 2018, and I am also the External Director
for Dance Marathon at LSU. Through these positions, I have been able to express my
passion for photography and film. I've had the opportunity to bring my ideas to life
on a major platform. This has pushed me to constantly keep innovating myself and all
the things I show my creativity through.
What makes creativity flourish?
Creativity flourishes when you take a moment to appreciate your everyday surroundings.
Every little thing can be a spark of inspiration for you to be creative. For me, music
and people are what inspire me everyday. Every person has a different take on life
and I take it as a challenge to try and capture those moments on camera. Music influences
my creativity by taking risks in the things that I produce and not being afraid of
the outcome.
How can your co-workers, friends, peers have a mindset of creativity?
When putting yourself in a creative mindset, I feel you must remember to keep an open
mind, and know that you can never use up creativity. The more you use, the more you
have.
