About
With an undergraduate in Art from BCC, I have been able to work across many mediums and platforms. Through my work at Pier59 Studios and as a freelance photo assistant in Manhattan, I found a love of working with new people and problem-solving. I have now placed my focus on writing and hope to expand my skills to be a useful asset to any company.
