About me
Charming and energetic graduate and 'arts amateur', looking to make the transition to 'arts professional'. I have several years of varied life and work experiences under my belt, and am currently looking for challenging opportunities to continue to grow, learn, and contribute within the world of art. I have a BA in Liberal Arts from Sarah Lawrence College (NY) with a concentration in Art History, and a MLitt from The University of St Andrews in Intellectual History. I am also an experienced art writer, gallery attendant (in both for and not for profit contexts), and have worked as as an assistant and general administrative and creative facilitator to figures from company directors to professors and art collectors. I'm visually literate, emotionally intelligent, and passionately committed to ensuring that art is accessible to all without any depreciation of monetary or metaphysical value.
