About Me
I’m a Management and Business student at Skidmore College, graduating in May 2026, with a minor in Environmental Science and a strong interest in Studio Art. My work is centered around creative entrepreneurship and brand marketing, and I’m especially drawn to projects that combine visual storytelling with thoughtful strategy.
I grew up in Morristown, New Jersey, and now spend much of my time between Saratoga Springs and Point Pleasant. Being in different environments has shaped how I think creatively and what I’m drawn to visually. I’ve always been someone who gravitates toward making things, whether through art or small business ideas.
In high school, I co-founded Watercolors & Wags, where I created custom watercolor pet portraits and sold them through Etsy and local markets. What began as a creative outlet quickly evolved into something more. I became interested in how to present my work, how to build a brand around it, and how to create something that people felt connected to. That experience led me to continue developing my own art practice through commissioned work, where I’ve been able to explore both the creative and business sides of what I do.
Alongside this, being a varsity athlete on the Skidmore Women’s Soccer team for four years has shaped how I approach my work. It’s taught me how to stay consistent, how to contribute to a team, and how to handle pressure with focus and discipline.
I’m interested in pursuing a role in brand marketing or public relations within a creative industry. I’m excited by opportunities where I can bring together my background in business, my experience in art, and my interest in building brands that feel both intentional and meaningful.
