My fourth year into college, with honors, and an ambition to pursue medicine had me stumble upon a revelation that I needed to change my major to fine arts. Mournful only of giving up my physics and physiology classes I joyfully registered for introductory painting and printroaking courses. My passion had truly been tapped. An only child from Hawaii, the passion has only been exemplified by independent trips to Italy, a strong influence on my artistic and personal development. I remain inspired by my previous studies as I add significant and enriching art museum internships to my resume. My work may be interpreted as that of a person constantly learning and always amazed by the world she lives in, wanting to express and share it in order to ignite excitement in others.
