(she/her/hers)

Growing up in Miami, Florida, I fostered an appreciation for drawing at an early age. This interest prompted me to attended Design and Architecture Senior High School in the heart of Miami's Design District, concentrating in industrial design. However, after taking my first art history survey course, I decided to major in the study at my undergraduate alma mater, New College of Florida.

​

While attending a seminar on Gothic Cathedrals, I first learned about art conservation. Spending countless hours wandering the galleries of the neighboring John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, and later interning there, I decided to pursue this fascinating profession. Graduating from New College in 2016, I have now interned at five museums, three private practices, and one regional center.

​

Currently, I am a second year Graduate Fellow in the Winterthur/ University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation (WUDPAC), majoring in library and archive materials with a minor in paper. My second year treatments reflect my broad interests, from rebinding an early American cookbook on French cuisine, to restoring functionality to a paper peepshow depicting a naval battle scene. Ultimately, my goal is to bring my skillset to my family's native Kingston, Jamaica. 

​

When I am not in the Library Lab, I enjoy spending time with my angry, stubby cat Goose, watching scary movies, and attempting to make New York Times recipes on a budget.
