Class of 2025
Majors in Art History and Public Policy

I'm a junior from St. Petersburg, FL, studying art history, public policy, and music. I sing baritone with my a cappella group, the Pitchforks, and you can often catch me in the front rows of Cameron with the Crazies. Within the arts, I conduct research for the AAHVS department and have worked for arts non-profits and museums.

Favorite Course: Chicago: Architecture, Urbanism, Politics was easily my favorite class I've taken at Duke! The lectures and projects intersected with my interests in public policy, and this course made me realize I wanted to become an art history major!
