I am a curator and artist from Seattle, WA. My lifelong background in visual arts, traditional craft, and global studies guides my curatorial practice and aesthetic values.
My practice is built upon meaningful collaboration, creative problem solving, knowledge exchange, and community engagement.
I earned my MFA in Curatorial Practice from the Maryland institute College of Art (MICA), Class of 2026. I earned my BA in Painting and a BA in Global Studies with a concentration in Education from Hartwick College in Oneonta NY, Class of 2023.
At MICA, I earned the Community Engagement Grant for the continuation of my thesis project. At Hartwick, I was awarded the Kay Walkingstick award in 2022 and the Jaune Quick-To-See Smith award in 2023. My undergraduate painting thesis was awarded Best in Show, in which one of the found object resin pieces "Paint Chips" was the recipient of the Hartwick Presidential Purchase Prize in 2023.
