She spent her youth excavating the southern beaches searching for Blackbeard's lost treasure or exploring the woods for a clue to the mystery of the Lost Colony. At eighteen she moved to Manhattan to study fine arts and later attended Hunter College where she graduated with honors from the Thomas Hunter Honors Program with degrees in Art History, Fine Arts and Psychology. She has spent the past two years pursuing a post-baccalaureate study in chemistry while interning in conservation laboratories to gain hands on experience in objects conservation. She also works as a research assistant to Art Historian and Robert Lehman Professor of Fine Arts, Dr. Colin Eisler. Besides art, she enjoys riding vintage bicyles through Forest Park, playing Wii and cooking.
