ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS
Art and Photography Exhibition
Rollins College, Winter Park, Florida
To achieve my Bachelor of Arts degree, I designed and organized a final art exhibition at Cornell Fine Art Museum at Rollins College containing my works of art. This included designing flyers, creating a website, organizing food and setting up the exhibition. This project had an excellent turnout and gave tremendous experience in project management, teamwork, organization and event planning.
Fall Art Exhibition
Santa Reparata International School of Art, Florence, Italy
While studying in Italy, I traveled throughout Europe searching for inspirational photography opportunities. This resulted in an extensive collection of highly emotional photographs, which were displayed in an end of semester exhibition. In order to market and self promote myself I created a website, and helped produce and distribute flyers. The exhibition was well received and I earned praise from my lecturers and peers.
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
As my work experience suggests, I have been a competitive soccer player since the age of 11. In high school I was a member of the Olympic Development Program, was voted Florida Soccer Player of the Year, and was selected to the National All-American Team. During college I was named Captain of the Varsity Women’s Soccer Team and was named All-Conference and All-NSCAA South Region. In my spare time I enjoy coaching, travelling and photography. As a result of all my experiences I am creative, organized, thorough and determined, and can work well individually and as part of a team.
