I'd like to think of myself as an individual that loves to learn. I started my tertiary education with foundations in western philosophy and sociology, afterward, I pursued my bachelor's with an honours degree in Fine Art. Initially, I wanted to unlock the world of aesthetics; I wanted to understand the different standards of beauty in contemporary art and how to analyze the structure and meaning. My master's program became the icing on the cake. My goal is to become a platform for other creatives. I remember when I started as a painter, I was told that I had to find a champion of the art to represent me. After working as the director's assistant of The National Art Gallery of The Bahamas, I realized that I am that said champion. I loved the creative direction program because it gave me a deeper understanding of the creative industry.
