She’s created graphic novels about the adventures of children with visible and invisible disabilities and produced an off-Broadway musical about disabilities and bullying. Levar Burton and The Jim Henson Company are developing two of her projects for the small screen.</p> <p> But she wouldn’t have been able to envision it in her early days as a premed student; back then, she thought building a career in health meant following a narrow professional track. “I remember thinking, okay, maybe I’ll be a physician or teach in a medical school,” she said. “I’d always been creative, but I never thought it would relate to any professional goals I’d have in health.”</p> <p> That changed when she took a developmental psychology class that showed her how rich and exciting the field could be and worked with a professor who helped her realize that creativity could be an asset in health—and not just a passion she pursued on the side.</p> <p> Now, as the director of MMC’s new <a href="/center-for-health-human-development-and-creativity/">Center for Health, Human Development, and Creativity</a>, Dr. Silton is helping Marymount Manhattan students reach that same understanding from the moment they step foot on campus.</p> </div> <div class="widget__image"> <picture class="lw_image"> <source type="image/webp" srcset="/live/image/gid/4/width/700/height/700/crop/1/src_region/0,0,1920,1080/27961_220906_Digital_CHHDC_1920x1080_2.rev.1662539145.webp 1x"/> <source type="image/jpeg" srcset="/live/image/gid/4/width/700/height/700/crop/1/src_region/0,0,1920,1080/27961_220906_Digital_CHHDC_1920x1080_2.rev.1662539145.jpg 1x"/> <img src="/live/image/gid/4/width/700/height/700/crop/1/src_region/0,0,1920,1080/27961_220906_Digital_CHHDC_1920x1080_2.rev.1662539145.jpg" alt="MMC?s Center for Health, Human Development, and Creativity is a hub for students and faculty from..." width="700" height="700" data-max-w="1920" data-max-h="1080" loading="lazy"/> </picture> </div> </div> </div>

I didn’t know how to serve myself.”</p> <p> That changed, however, with help from a new resource at MMC that Biron would help launch as a student worker: the College’s Intercultural Center (IC). Though it just <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci0Tq_OMsqk/">marked its first anniversary</a> in September, it has already had a powerful impact on those who rely on its services, including first-gen students.</p> </div> <div class="widget__image"> <picture class="lw_image"> <source type="image/webp" srcset="/live/image/gid/208/width/700/height/700/crop/1/src_region/0,0,1047,802/28436_Screenshot_20221120-164929_Instagram.rev.1668981069.webp 1x"/> <source type="image/jpeg" srcset="/live/image/gid/208/width/700/height/700/crop/1/src_region/0,0,1047,802/28436_Screenshot_20221120-164929_Instagram.rev.1668981069.jpg 1x"/> <img src="/live/image/gid/208/width/700/height/700/crop/1/src_region/0,0,1047,802/28436_Screenshot_20221120-164929_Instagram.rev.1668981069.jpg" alt="First-gen students attending a mixer at the Intercultural Center in September." width="700" height="700" data-max-w="1047" data-max-h="802" loading="lazy"/> </picture> </div> </div> </div>
