Summary
Hello, My name is Isnerys Carrasquillo and I am currently a sophomore theatre major with a minor in mass communications at the University of South Carolina. I have an extremely passion in theatre and storytelling. It is my dream to convey important messages through my art and entertainment. I also have a passion in journalism as well and love the research aspect. I have been apart of five shows throughout my time at USC and plan on being a part of more. I am also in a sorority called Kappa Delta Chi that is Latina based but not exclusive and have over 40 service hours. I like to be involved with my sorority and connect with my sisters in any way I can! I am constantly trying to better myself mentally, emotionally and physically. When I have time off, I am always at the gym or doing something fun like playing basketball or rock climbing.
