Summary

Presently, I am enrolled in the Art History and Museum Professions program at the Fashion Institute of Technology. In my education at F.I.T., I have combined my studies in photography with a concentration in fine arts. I graduated in May 2023 with an associate's degree in Photography and Related Media. As a photographic artist, I've always looked to the history of art and the stories within them for inspiration.

I find the relationship between history and photography to be utterly fascinating, and it's a dynamic I hope to continually explore throughout my artistic, academic, and professional career.
