Alysha’s Biography

I was born in Tucson, Arizona with six toes on each foot, and didn’t remove them until I was three years old. When I was five, I moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico and right now, I am a Junior at Volcano Vista High School (Home of the Hawks). My classes are primarily located in the Arts and Entertainment Academy–I study classes such as Drama, Film Production, Creative Writing, Computer Graphics, and Set Direction. While in school, I have made one “mock-umentary” and one documentary as part of class finals for Information Technology and Honors English 10. I love being a part of the Film Production that happens in Albuquerque, and I have even had the oppurtunity to get near/around three movie/television sets (The Avengers, Odd Thomas, and Breaking Bad). My favorite actors are Steve Carell, Robert Downey Jr., and Jimmy Fallon and my favorite movies are comedies…even though my favorite movie (currently) is The Avengers.

I am going to graduate from Volcano Vista in May 2014, and when I do, I plan to go to New York University to study Film Production–such as Screenwriting, Directing, Producing, Acting and Editing. Ever since I was younger, I have been dreaming of someday working at NBC Studios, either in Burbank or New York City, for the show Saturday Night Live. Hopefully, I will achieve that later in my life. Also, I am currently busy with a script for a movie that I hope will someday be on the big screen.

So, this is a little bit about me that I hope everyone enjoyed learning. I am really excited to be here in this program to improve my knowledge of medical studies and media studies. If you would like to see the projects that I have worked on, there are links down below; I didn’t really act in them, I was the person behind the camera. Thank you!!

Alysha’s Documentary about Social Networking; May 2012 **Please note that the program I used to create this video changed up the timing a bit, so you may want to pause a couple of times in the beginning, if you cannot read the whole text in time. After the first 2 minutes, it should be back to normal.
