My name is Analiese Elizabeth Hratko. Born in Bethlehem and raised in Nazareth, my hometown remains nostalgic even though it is Pennsylvania. Being the youngest sibling and cousin has gifted me with the ability to make keen observations about the many directions a person’s life can take. Subsequently, I have fostered a panoramic view of life, and implement a narrow lens when necessary. An artistic filter was applied to my life when attending a performing arts high school, majoring in dance.

Balancing an art form with academics trained me in time management and offered a specialized view of history. Although, I am not pursuing a career as a dancer, the discipline and intricate knowledge of dance continues to guide and inspire my next endeavors. At University, I joined my affection for fine arts with the study of Communications and the Liberal Arts. I seek non surface level dialogue to unearth truth through an artistic lens. I hope to connect with others through lively discussions, supported by study, to turn knowledge into confidence and action.
