Hi! I am a recent graduate of Cornell University's Concurrent Degrees Program, completing a BA in the History of Art, and a BFA in Studio Art.

Through my experience at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Herbert F. Johnson Museum, I have developed exceptional research skills and an in-depth understanding of individual artists and historical movements, in addition to expanding my overall art historical knowledge base. My education as an art historian and fine artist adds to my credibility and expertise in researching and critiquing works of art, as well as my ability to assess the condition and stability of art objects in varied media. In my position at the Johnson Museum, I also received extensive, hands-on training in art handling, object-based teaching, collections management, and educational programming.

My work as an artist has been featured in one solo show and six group shows across Ithaca, New York City, and Rome, and my senior BFA thesis received the prestigious Charles Goodwin Sands Memorial Prize from Cornell's College of Architecture, Art, and Planning.

Recently, I have conducted intensive research both independently on postmortem photography, and collaboratively with an esteemed historian of nursing on the influence of early photography practice and theory on psychiatric treatment and experimentation in the early 20th century, with the intention of developing original scholarship for publication.

I am passionate about high-quality curation and scholarship in modern and contemporary art, public accessibility to collections and institutions, museum education, archival responsibility, art conservation, providing programming support and educational outreach for all audiences, and creating rich opportunities for living artists to be closely involved with the institutions that house their work.
