DKA 

Delta Kappa Alpha is a national, gender-inclusive, professional cinematic society Founded in 1936 at USC in Los Angeles, Ca. Its mission is to foster lifelong character, collaborative and creative storytelling, ethical and productive business practices, philanthropic action, and fraternal bonds by and between students of the cinematic arts.

My relationship with DKA is a very personal one—I established & led a DKA chapter as a student at my university and remain an active alumni member as a Councilor on the National Board & creative professional: developing campaigns, writing copy, and designing content to target fellow active & alumni members.

In my first year at the University of Miami, some fellow film majors and I looked for a group of students, like ourselves, who were interested in pursuing careers in film/TV & digital Media and discovered one didn’t exist. 

I StArted seeing a slew of social posts from friends made during my semester at NYU Tisch who were in the midst of re-founding their school’s chapter of DKA—a values-based professional organization whose mission is to foster the exact community we’d been searching for at our school.

We reached out to the national office, and the following semester, we founded the Xi Associate Chapter of DKA at Miami. Over the course of the next two years as Vice President and President, I worked alongside my fellow DeKAs to take the necessary steps required to charter and become an official chapter. The Xi chapter remains an active community of hundreds of young artists navigating the industry.

Several years later, my DKA experience has come full circle: I now serve as a National Councilor, volunteering my time for the very office I worked with as a student to establish the Xi chapter. When I’m not working with our board to advise active members, engage alumni, and ensure DKA can continue developing upstanding leaders and artists..I design content and Help run DKA’s national Communications & social media accounTs.
