I obtained my MA in Art History from UWM in 2023. My time in the MA program allowed me to explore three separate languages and attend two graduate conferences. A travel award also allowed me to visit the Detroit Institute of Arts to conduct thesis research. The support I received from my advisor, Tanya Tiffany, along with the other faculty, allowed me to work towards pursuing a PhD in the field. In 2024, I received a lucrative offer to pursue a PhD in the History of Art at the University of California, Riverside, where I am currently a first-year PhD student.
