I’ve had the honor of having my work selected for several juried exhibitions, including Reverberations: The 2025 Juried Student Exhibition, Holding Space: The 2024 Juried Student Exhibition, and a virtual 3D exhibition hosted by Omnibus Gallery. These opportunities have allowed me to explore visual storytelling as a form of personal expression and cultural connection.
