The arts are a way to write history, document stories and make change. I am fascinated by art born out of times of hardship or work that captures the raw emotion of an artist at a pointed time in history. Creativity is the tool that makes change. I hope to learn as much as I can and possibly use my position to make positive change.

I am currently a student at Fordham University majoring in Art History with minors in Visual Arts and Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies. I have a special interest Feminist art and American Art 1850s-1960s. In the fall, I will be completing my undergraduate thesis for the Art History department and working towards applying for an MA in Contemporary Arts. Professionally, I want to work within arts administration or education programming. I have been creating 2D art my whole life, and I owe my love of the visual arts to my high school arts teacher, Nate Nottingham. I won a Silver Key in the Scholastic Art and Writing awards in the Drawing and Illustration category in 2016, and participated in the Congressional Art Competition in the same year and had the fortunate opportunity to have some of my work showcased in the Massachusetts State House as a result. I recently exhibited 5 of my paintings at the Theatre of the New City in a show titled Millennial Thrust, a show focused on millennial artists living within New York.
