About
The purpose of my BA and MA studies has been to enhance my proficiency in Arts Administration. These degrees lay the foundation for my goal of collaborating with local and federal institutions to spearhead arts enterprises for public consumption. Through a combination of private and public projects, my focus is on contributing to production and liaison roles, utilizing the skills and insights gained through these academic endeavors.
Looking ahead, the pursuit of a Ph.D. in Global Policy serves as a strategic move to expand the scope of my work internationally. I envision myself as an ambassador for the arts, navigating the global private sector and engaging in consulting, implementation, and funding initiatives that transcend borders.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
Arts Administration.
My goal is to complete my bachelor’s in interdisciplinary studies, followed by my master’s in arts administration. I will complete my PhD studies in International Business.- Graduate school interests
As an Arts Administrator, I intend to specialize in the areas of public policy/programming, municipal and private events, grants distribution, facilities management/design, and private projects.
With the acquisition of my PhD. I will broaden the scope of my work, facilitating international arts administration for governments and institutions.- Outside the classroom
I work as a singer and though it isn't technically a hobby because it pays, I have so much fun singing that I would do it for free (don't tell anyone though). I am a visual artist and dancer as well which keeps me busy and engaged.
