RESUME
Professional ​
info​​
After graduating from University, I earned the opportunity to work in New York for one year, using my OPT (Optional Practical Training). I learned about the publishing and the literary industry.
I would like to put into practice my education and training in Writing, Literature, Photography, Printing, Color Theory, and Artist bookmaking. Sarah Lawrence educated me with the John Dewey style of education, which allows me the practice of working with multi-genres and creating amalgamations by mixing fields. While holding the end result of projects to the utmost importance, I most enjoy the process of working; inevitably enabling me the ability to adapt to change as part of an artist's journey. Furthering my education, Open Road Integrated Media, allowed me to spearhead and execute projects timely, effectively and efficiently.
