I am a student at the University of Cincinnati currently studying for my bachelor's in Fine Arts, as well as a minor in Psychology and Pre-Art Therapy certificate. My art focus is very versatile, spanning from drawing mediums to digital photography and videography, with a heavier focus on painting. A lot of my work is centered around emotional release and outward expression of internalized experiences. This idea of emotional release through art is something very important to me as someone aspiring to be an art therapist. I chose this path because I consider myself a people person who strives to be a place of comfort for others. I value strong communication and trust, as well as helping others through anything, mental and physical. I have worked in the restaurant industry in the past, spending a little over 2 years as a front-of-the-house customer service worker/ hostess at Creekside Restaurant in Brecksville Ohio. I currently work as a Dinning aid/ server at Danbury Senior Living, in Broadview Heights Ohio. My work in the Food/dining industry has taught me many valuable lessons as a worker and has made me more adept with my time management and people-handling skills. I am known to be a very respectable and dedicated worker by my employers. I am someone who is always on time and I take pride in going above and beyond while getting work done correctly and thoroughly.
