Atlanta Metropolitan Area
I am currently serving as the curator of the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art. I synthesize exhibitions and oversee the permanent collection, as well as manage membership and events. I graduated summa cum laude from Kennesaw State University in 2016 with a B.A. in Art History and a minor in Classical Studies. I presented my undergraduate art historical research at conferences across the region, including Kennesaw, Macon, Pittsburgh, Asheville, and Memphis. I had three of my papers published in undergraduate research journals. In January 2016 I joined the Zuckerman Museum of Art as a curatorial intern; I curated a community based, interactive project for the atrium display. I became curatorial assistant to past ZMA curator Sarah Higgins and was her assistant editor for the exhibition catalog, "Gut Feelings." I also worked as a framer at Aaron Brothers Art & Framing, where I built upon my skills in design, art handling & conservation, and customer service. When I can, I work in the metro-Atlanta area as a life model, posing for classes and individual artists.
