I became an art historian due to my fascination of how and why art is made. During my time at the University of Illinois at Chicago I was drawn to social media marketing and how it relates to art history. I love seeing how pop culture, art history, and social media combine together. I especially am interested in the different ways museums are using these social platforms to bring the museum experience to the palm of your hand. Being interested in these topics led to me receiving my role as the student social media liaison for the College of Arts and brought me to where I am today. I have a background which extends to five years of being a content creator and manger for different businesses social media accounts. I've worked with micro influencers, small brands, and large institutions. Currently I am looking for a full time paid work or freelance work since being a recent grad.
