Hi, I’m Henry Young. I’m currently pursuing a Master of Arts in English at BYU with a focus on British literature, and I work as a Graduate Student Instructor while exploring how writing, teaching, and performance intersect with technology and media. I’ve contributed to Altered Reality Magazine and serve as President of the BYU C. S. Lewis Society, where I help peers engage with literature through discussion and critical thinking. I’m passionate about helping students develop clear writing, strong critical thinking, and creative confidence. I’ve coordinated study-abroad teaching in London and led stage productions with the BYU Dance Department, balancing collaboration with hands-on execution. Looking ahead, I aim to continue teaching, writing, and producing accessible arts programming that resonates with diverse audiences.
