Emily Diaz, La DePaulia Arts and Life Editor

Hello, I’m Emily. I have a BA in communication studies from DePaul and am wrapping up my master’s in PR and advertising this June. I’m excited to be the new Arts & Life editor here. I believe art is a catalyst for free speech and social justice. I’m excited to inspire these beliefs again this year and highlight empowered individuals.
