My name is Anya Lossman, and I am a senior at Rock Canyon High School working towards the AP Capstone Diploma. 

​

I have had a fascination with films since before I can remember, and especially enjoy watching them with my family. I've always admired the work of filmmakers, and their ability captivate audiences through storytelling. Additionally, in recent years I have grown an interest in psychology and mental health, specifically of athletes.

​

Having grown up in Brooklyn, New York, I developed a strong value for diversity and equality at a young age. Much of my work as a student, sportswoman, and person surrounds these values, and I believe they are reflected in the purpose of my study. Through my research this year, I will strive to discover the impact of accurate portrayals within the film industry, and to create a separation between narrative and clinical knowledge.
