"Since graduating, life has been a beautiful, full-circle journey. I began by interning with the community engagement department at the Frist Art Museum, which deepened my passion for connecting people through art."

"I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be part of a group exhibition, Where Are We? (pictured above), opening at Begonia Labs on January 17th. The show, which will run until March 7th, explores the immigrant experience here in Nashville.
