Hi there! I’m Paulie Malherbe, a Brown University student pursuing a BA in Literary Arts (Creative Writing) and Modern Culture and Media (Film & Media), with electives in history, entrepreneurship, performing arts, and literature. I’m deeply drawn to storytelling across writing, performance, and media, and I’ve led student initiatives, contributed as a writer and editor, and collaborated on theatre, music, and film projects across campus and beyond. In addition to academics, I’ve explored advertising, media production, and community-building—interning with Storied Media Group, King James/Accenture Song, and Brown Motion Pictures, and serving as founder of Bishops Pride. I’m excited to keep creating work that blends writing, performance, and media to foster connection, learning, and equity.
