I was born and raised in New York City, and am currently a junior at Bard High School Early College on the Lower East Side. I am interested in film and I make shorts with my friends. I also play drums and record and produce music. During the residency I hope to explore and increase my knowledge of both mediums, while also learning how to make them interactive.

I'm Jade.
I'm 16 years young.
The Enter Key is my best friend besides Caroline. I love them both equally.
Kinda.
I draw faces on inanimate objects, so when I yell at them I feel like they're actually listening to me and feels sorry that they burned my toast, or me rather.
I am a bear of very little brain, and long words bother me.
