Selected Projects 20<strong>16</strong>-<strong>18</strong><br />

Upon graduation I received a Mellon Summer<br />

Internship grant from the RISD Museum. There I<br />

worked with Emily Peters at the Department of<br />

<strong>Print</strong>s, Drawings, and Photographs. My contributions<br />

involved cataloguing Flemish <strong>print</strong>s in the extensive<br />

RISD archives as well as publishing an essay in RISD<br />

Museum’s online journal, Manual.<br />

I am <strong>no</strong>w continuing my research on the architecture<br />

of the city of New Bedford’s Abolitionist neighborhood.<br />

The project, called The Aesthetics and<br />

Architectonics of an Abolitionist Neighborhood is<br />

led by Professor Karimi and is funded by a Creative<br />

Eco<strong>no</strong>my Grant. So far, in my capacity as a research<br />

assistant to the project, I have conducted research<br />

at the archives of the Whaling Museum, the New<br />

Bedford Registry of Deeds, and the New Bedford<br />

Public Library. These research projects have prepared<br />

me well for graduate school. I am currently<br />

applying to several graduate programs in Art History<br />

and I hope to be a professor of Art History, training<br />

the future generation of Americans.<br />
