Recent MFA Graduate from the University of California-Davis. I was a McNair Graduate Fellowship Recipient for my first year in the program which allowed me to get involved with the Bilinski Fellowship Program at the Bodega Bay Marine Lab as well as extensive research conducted throughout the UC Nature Reserve System. With this work I received the Robert Arneson, Mary Lou Osborn and Dean Summer Fellowships to support my thesis work exhibited at the Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum as well as a two person show at the Shepard Art Historical Center in Sacramento, California.
