Questions I have:
- How do I make my portfolio better in regards to curation and streamlining work?
- Do you have tips for international students when they apply to universities abroad?
- How do I deal with being put into a box as a queer brown person or how to stop putting yourself into that box?
- Do universities like RISD/Yale put a lot of importance on resume or how much volunteer work/exhibitions you have done
- How to not feel exhausted or burnt out after your BFA thesis, or even hopeless if you can’t find suitable jobs or exhibitions?
