I am a 2012 graduate of NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study, making me no stranger to doing hard work and working well independently. I created my own curriculum centered around the theory and practice of creativity, working on how to demystify it and make it a more tangible phenomenon. Because of this course of study, I have a well-rounded background which allows me to problem-solve using insights from various courses of study and work experiences. I am devoted and determined, a fast learner and ever curious. I pay attention to details and am organized. I adapt quickly to new situations and prefer jumping right in.
