About

Passionate in history from a young age, I’ve always been driven by knowledge and curiosity —especially around how visual art communicates through structure, technique, and history. After initially pursuing a pre-med track and engaging in scientific research and leadership programs, I transitioned to art history to follow my deeper passion for cultural analysis and historical context. I've always been around museums and I knew that they were my happy place and a has brought a desire to work in one Currently focused on Renaissance art with a focus on Italy, I’m researching the evolution of artistic techniques and the narratives of lesser-known artists. My goal is to deepen this work through international study and contribute to a broader understanding of underrepresented voices in art history.
