Hi all! My name is Calistha (she/her). I am a Communication Studies major with a certificate in Film and Media Arts. I was born and raised in Philly where attending Temple has allowed me to keep my family and community close while exploring new aspects of the city and meeting new people of diverse backgrounds. On campus, I play violin for OWLchestra and am currently doing research on Music and Belonging within Philadelphia’s Southeast Asian religious community through the Creative Arts Research and Scholarship grant.  Outside of school I work for Vietlead as their Communication Intern and I also work for a restaurant in Chinatown. In my free time I like to watch movies and take walks along the Schuylkill River Trail. Looking forward to meeting you all!
