Hi! I'm Austin and I love being a student at PHAME. I am grateful that PHAME has helped me find my artistic community.

I've been in the comedy troupe since the beginning! We're growing and doing music too. We play games together like Zip, Zap, Zop and "I'm a Tree!" and other improv games. These games help me get outside my comfort zone, which means a lot to me because I am working on growing my leadership skills with Nick, the improv teacher.

Another teacher I appreciate at PHAME is our drumming teacher, Alex, who is so understanding and helps me be myself in class and at PHAME.

A new program I'd love to see at PHAME is to go beyond the daytime Game Club and have one in the evening where more staff and students can get together to play Cards Against Humanity, Tales I and Tales II, so we can create stories together.

I love being part of the programs and making the posters for student leadership. I love to be creative at PHAME.
