As a graduate of the LSU Roger Hadfield Ogden Honors College and College of Art & Design, I am a dedicated scholar, Dean's Medalist, and Distinguished Undergraduate Researcher. My interests include contemporary art and education. In my undergraduate thesis, "Contemporary Environmental Art: The Multidimensional Relationship Between Black Communities and the American Landscape," I integrate studies of the Black diaspora with contemporary, Black and environmental art. I aspire to be an educator; I believe that Art History needs more diverse representation in academic and museum settings. Spending my summers as a residential camp counselor has allowed me to build a broad skillset including childcare and activity coordination as well as leadership and community involvement. Working as a retail salesperson equipped me with the ability to manage and organize inventory, and prioritize service to customer while also protecting company assets.
