Welcome to SXSW Interactive 2015 TCU - Global Impact and Policy

About Me

Hey everyone and welcome to my blog!

My name is Danielle Mondragon and I'm a Film/TV/Digital Media and Psychology double major from Texas Christian University. I'm currently a junior and plan on graduating May 2016. I love the creative aspect of film as well as the medium that it gives me to tell a story. Psychology is another passion of mine as it gives me the ability to help others regarding their mental health. 

I've always been interested in policy and advocacy work because I enjoy being a part of a positive movement. I have been able to use my creative side as well as my psychology background to try to move others to act. I'm attending SXSW to explore other ways that I can fight against stigmas, stereotypes, and prejudice. I hope to be inspired by others' positive movements in the advocacy and non-profit field. With digital advocacy becoming more and more prevalent, I am interested to see how successful non-profits have been able to keep up. I hope to know more about the successful impact made by using social media as a medium. With the knowledge I will gain from the festival, I hope to take these strategies with me throughout the rest of my advocacy career. 

I hope this interests you, whether you wish to learn more about advocacy work and policy, or if you just want to learn more about the SXSW festival in general!
