I am a recent graduate from the Pratt Institute looking for a full-time position in interior design. Since graduating I have taken time to develop my portfolio, revisiting design projects from school and exploring my interest in fine art mediums such as painting, drawing and collage. During the pandemic I worked as an essential worker at a local grocery store and volunteered with NYCares distributing meals across all boroughs.
