art, storytelling, and history
Embedded Files
Art was my first passion, whether it was painting, drawing, or creating stages from cereal boxes. This enthusiasm ultimately led me to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art and in developing a keen interest in the arts.
Over time, I generated a strong fascination with art production, as well as the narratives and histories connected to it. This interest prompted me to pursue a Master of Arts in Arts Management and Creative Producing from University College Cork. During this program, I worked on a storytelling project that significantly changed the direction of my career, with a particular emphasis on oral history and archives.
I later earned a Master of Science in Library and Information Science, with a focus on archives management, from Simmons University. Currently, my work involves archives, special collections, and oral history, as I strive to incorporate more storytelling and art into my work.
