This summer I will be interning for Off the Map Production in Sydney, Australia! I am so extremely excited for this journey! As some you know, last year I interned with Walt Disney Company and had the time of my life. I meet some wonderful people who showed me how much more the world has to offer! One of the people I meet while there was Mellisa. Mel came to intern from Melbourne, Australia and fully emersed herself in the American culture while sharing her Aussie culture with us. While in Australia, I will be spending time with Mel and her friends fully emersing myself in the Aussie lifestyle!

This internship will allow me to bring back a broader view of Fine Arts in the world. We all have an idea of what Fine Arts means in the USA but many of us do not have a great understanding of it in other countries.

I'm currently studying visual arts at Clemson University in hopes of attending graduate school to study Art Therapy. Many art students here at Clesmon do not have to chance to study abroad due to a wide array of reasons. I want to help show that it is possible to study (or intern in my case) abroad without delaying graduation and still able to earn studio credits to count towards a degree!

While I'm in working, Mel and I will be traveling throughout Australia and New Zealand. I will be documenting my entire trip via 35mm film and digital photographs! I will also be videoing all of my adventures to create a vlog! The photographs will go towards my senior show that explores the culture of different towns, countries, people. The show will be held in the Lee Gallary at Clemson University in December of 2019!
