How did you first get interested in art?
Art has always been something constant in my life, and it started with coloring books when I was little. I have always liked hands-on activities like craft and making a mess. It has truly been the only thing in my life that I enjoy and have patience for, and I knew that no other career or job would do.

What kind of career do you hope to have?
I hope to have a stable job as a photographer and doing photo shoots while still doing other projects on the side.

What is your favorite thing about the Department of Art & Art History?
How close the department can be with one another. We all go through the same things so it’s easy to tap on someone’s shoulder and ask for help or strike up a conversation.

When you are not in class, studying, or working, what do you like to do for fun?
I like reading, taking care of my pets. I also involve myself in the art community in my hometown and listen to other artists. I also enjoy taking walks and being alone.
