About the Artist

I am a recent graduate of Duke University from Fayetteville, North Carolina. While at Duke I served as the Director of Outreach for the art organization DuArts and was an executive committee member for the poetry journal Cantos. Through my time at Duke, I also rediscovered my passion and admiration for the arts; more specifically, I uncovered a passion that I didn’t even realize I had for film. Concretely, I write poetry and create moving images centered around sexuality, all that is coming-of-age, and womanhood. Moving forward I would like to expand on my experience and pursue a graduate degree in film studies.
