(BA art history and anthropology ’13)

“My interest in art history developed in high school. I love how images can tell us so much about the human condition – thoughts, feelings, struggles are all interwoven to communicate with people long after their creators have passed on. Art history certainly has a mystery to it and I have always been intrigued by the processes we take to bring their stories to light.”

After earning her MA in Art History with a specialization in Museum Studies, she worked at the Mission San Luis Archaeological Site in Tallahassee, FL.
