In 20 words or less, what is the best thing about being part of this department?
Getting to talk about art with people and challenge my ideas on how to think about art in my life.

What is your biggest piece of advice to first years and sophomores about getting connected to this department?
Don’t be afraid to reach out! Whether you’re completely new to art or art history or have been interested in it for a long time, faculty and students are always willing to discuss how our department might benefit you and your education.

What is something you know now that you wish you could tell your first-year self?
Your love for art will only grow stronger, so don’t be afraid to embrace it.

What is the most valuable thing you’ve learned at K?
Life is a lot more fun when you do the things you’re scared of, but it’s also important to take a step back when things get too overwhelming.

What has been your favorite class at K? 
PHIL-107: Logic and Reasoning with Lars Enden. While I love the focus on reading, writing, and creating that my classes in the art and art history departments give me, there was something wonderfully soothing about taking a class that allowed me to think about formulas and systems in a very concrete way. I wish K offered more logic classes because I would take them all in a heartbeat!

How have you taken advantage of the flexible curriculum or experienced breadth?
I started taking Spanish classes immediately when I arrived at K because I hoped to learn enough to become fluent and somehow ended up on track for a Spanish major completely unintentionally just by exploring the Spanish curriculum! I have also taken multiple creative writing courses, an ANSO sophomore seminar, and am deciding between a couple History and Classics courses for Winter 2027.

What experiential education opportunities have you participated in?
I have been a LandSea leader, peer writing consultant at the Writing Center, teaching assistant for art history, Swim for Success instructor, and participated in the Gabii Project, a five-week archaeology summer program in Italy.

What is your SIP?
I will be doing a Studio Art SIP, and I am very excited to see how my ideas evolve throughout fall term and into my winter SIP term. However, my current idea is an artistic exploration through painting, installation, and digital comics of the fantasy world the graphic novel I plan to write is set in.

What are your career aspirations/next steps after K?
I am currently torn between a career as a comic artist and working in exhibition design, although I hope to do a Fulbright or similar program in Spain! My current plan is to take a gap year to save up some money and work on my comics before deciding on grad programs.

What is a random fun fact about you?
I had a pet shark when I was little!
