I am a recent MA graduate from the Sotheby's Institute of Art "Fine and Decorative Art and Design" program who is seeking opportunities within the creative industry in a few areas. Throughout my Bachelor's degree I was involved in studio art courses which honed my photography skills and I have continued participating in freelance projects since then. My academic interests lie primarily in research and cataloguing which have been supplemented through international museum internships, including the Victoria and Albert Museum. My MA thesis focused on the dissection of Quattrocento visual representations of The Annunciation in relation to a Western philosophical and theological tradition, making the Old Masters of particular interest to me. On top of these things I have two and a half years of prior administrative experience working in Washington, D.C. I hope my varied experiences can help me navigate a role in which I can grow and bring value to the position!
