Welcome to my site! I am currently a communications assistant at the Yale Center for British Art, where I work on our website extensively, including creating, updating and managing new and old content, providing feedback on new design features and improvements, and attending website meetings. Additionally, I edit video recordings of our programs. I also run a lot of Zoom webinars, including for our colleagues across the street at Yale University Art Gallery. I am a graduate of the University of Connecticut's
Digital Media & Design program, Class of 2019. I have had a lifelong love of technology, and I occasionally enjoy video games. I even built my own computer in 2020!
