Summary
Through my education and my work experiences in both academic and gallery settings, I have become skilled in conducting in-depth art historical research, digitally organizing artist and gallery information, handling art, and working in a team setting. My personal practice as a painter has deepened my passion and understanding of art and art history. I am looking for a position that will allow me to use and expand my substantial art history knowledge and research skills in a gallery, auction house or museum setting.
