Emilia Suarez

A first generation American born and raised in sunny Florida, I have spent the last four years under the cold, grey skies of Pittsburgh at the Carnegie Mellon School of Drama, a place they are now trying to call me a graduate of. I have cherished my years at CMU, where I have been an active member of the Diversity & Inclusion committee and served as the Acting/MT Option Rep for the School of Drama Curriculum Review. In my Junior year, I was honored to receive the Helen Wayne Rauh Award for Excellence in Acting. The purpose I have found in art, service, and activism allows me to foster and manifest a return on all these gifts I have been given as I have walked through my life. I hope to find more opportunities to make the most of, as well as grow into the most fiercely loyal friend, sister and daughter I can be, while continuing to advocate for education and equity.
