My name is Theo. I use they/them pronouns. I am a 22-year-old, paving a road to the most authentic education I can create for myself. I struggled a lot in high school due to an abusive home environment. After moving to California for mental health treatment in 2024, I am now living a life beyond my wildest dreams with the help of my higher power. This fall, I started at the Johnston Program as a student at the University of Redlands. The Johnston Program is a highly esteemed and respected create-your-own degree program that I am honored to be a part of. I am creating a degree titled "Reclaiming Creational Power Through Mixed Media". This degree centers around the lived experience I have around how art can help people heal and step into creative power. I am so excited to see where my education will lead me in the professional world! It is my goal both those who consider themselves artists and those who don't step into creational power.
