Yevhenii Bahrii
Emerging Leaders Intern
Hello, my name is Yevhenii Bahrii. I am now pursuing a bachelor's degree in Film and Media Arts with a minor in Entrepreneurship. I am highly passionate about film and everything surrounding it. In the Arts Force internship, I'm delighted to help other students navigate the College of Fine Arts and find a job they're going to love. Outside of work, I enjoy playing soccer with my friends, skating, hiking, and snowboarding during the winter.
Brianna Cipriano
Emerging Leaders Intern
Hi! My name is Brianna Cipriano, and I am currently pursuing a BFA in Graphic Design. I have had a lifelong interest in all art disciplines, and I aim to collaborate with others in diverse fields to work towards joint or individual goals. Preparation for life after college is daunting for some, so as an ArtsForce intern, I hope to help my peers become more confident in their areas of study and the future careers they wish to pursue. Through communication, action, and artistic creation, any goal is achievable.
Jason Hogue
Emerging Leaders Intern
Hi! I’m Jason Hogue and I’m currently studying acting and strategic communication. Outside of school, I enjoy thrifting, painting, and replaying the same songs over and over on the piano. As an ArtsForce intern, I hope to give other students more information about opportunities they could pursue while in school and a deeper understanding of both local arts organizations and national trends in the arts. I’m particularly interested in sharing the stories of U of U graduates who have gone on to have successful careers. Meeting people who traveled a similar path to mine and then achieved their dreams is one of the most heartening and informative experiences I’ve had in the College of Fine Arts, and I want to share that with other students!
Kat Seaman

I’m excited to be an ArtForce intern this year, and I look forward to helping fellow students learn networking skills that will help them in their professional careers in the arts.

Hello, I’m Sadie Olsen. I’m a music composition major, and my primary instrument is violin. I have been playing for 11 years and I’ve been writing music for 3 years. I want to go into opera composition and conducting. Outside of music, I love to sew and to read horror novels.

Yerin (Lynn) Kim

Hello! I'm Yerin (Lynn) Kim, currently majoring in Film and Game Studies with a focus on 3D modeling and animation. I'm interested in how individual artists collaborate with local communities to showcase their art to the public.

I'm happy to be part of the ArtsForce team this year and look forward to empowering student artists to engage and innovate within our community.
