Annasimone Mikhail is originally from Cleveland, Ohio and holds a B.A. in Psychology and Criminology from The Ohio State University. During her time here as a Media Studies MA student, she hopes to delve into the complexities of minority and gender representation within popular forms of media (especially reality television) and the accompanying effects on self-perception and interpersonal communication. Being a first-generation American herself, she also seeks to explore this subgroup’s unique relationship with media as a social learning tool in navigating questions of citizenship and identity. She welcomes any opportunity to discuss her latest read or film viewing and enjoys playlist curation and going to concerts.
