“I have two passions – history and art. Though I do not make art, I do enjoy observing those who do. Upon graduation, I decided to explore the field of arts administration, deeming this as the best merger of my two passions. In my quest for experience, I was steered towards Form+Content and I can honestly say that it was an enlightening journey. The members are kind and welcoming – inviting interns into their studios, offering career advice, alerting them to and connecting them with opportunities outside of the gallery. And despite my lack of Fine Arts training, I never felt intimidated by the members; instead, I always felt valued.”
