Graduating senior at Harvard University studying visual and environmental studies and molecular biology. Varsity fencer.As a studio art student, I am very passionate about creating art. My coursework and background in studio art have provided me with the technical skills to create work as well as the ability to think and problem solve creatively. I also feel that my work in biology gives me a unique perspective to making art. A background in science has taught me to think about everything I do, including mistakes, as something to learn from. In addition, nine years of competitive fencing in international and national circuits taught me the value of a work ethic and persistence, while my experience on the Harvard Varsity Fencing Team has taught me how to work effectively as a team member and the power of well-directed, collaborative effort. I am pursuing a career that would allow me to utilize my creative and technical abilities as well as work with a group of creative people and am therefore interested in positions in design, galleries, or artist's studios while I continue to learn and grow as an artist myself.
