Professional ProfIle 

Having recently earned dual degrees in both Studio Art and Biology, I am seeking to forge my love of creating art with my passion for the natural sciences. The robust courses at the University of South Carolina have cultivated versatility, an eagerness to learn, and critical thinking skills that have allowed me to consider every angle while solving unique issues. In addition, my vast and immersive involvement in serving the community has given me the ability to balance and execute many top-quality projects while maintaining strong attention to detail and blossoming as a leader. This comprehensive academic experience and engagement in the community have strategically positioned me to be successful in a professional setting.
