I am a designer, artist, and curator who believes in the power of art to bring people together. I graduated from Rhode Island College's Digital Media program in 2020 and won the Senior Art Award the following spring. For five years, I had the privilege of serving as the Founder and Executive Director of Haus of Codec, where I combined my love for the arts, education and working directly with young adults.
From my early experience as a Creative Production Intern at the RISD Museum to my current pursuit of a Creative Director Certificate from ELVTR, I am constantly exploring new ways to push creative boundaries and support the next generation of artists.
