Parent:
Sherri Ferris
Plans: I plan to
attend an institution
to obtain my
undergraduate
degree in both film
and English. I also plan on minoring in
women’s studies and pursuing a film
career in a way that further advances
equal opportunities for women to
represent their talents and express
their knowledge. I also had the incredible
opportunity to study the lack of
women’s education opportunities in
Guatemala in 2018, so I wish to return
there and also visit other countries to
promote the importance of learning
for young girls.
