Hi everyone!  First of all, I just want to say thank you for taking the time to visit this page.  I am incredibly grateful for your generosity and consideration!  What makes a successful member of society?  Is it wealth, fame, knowledge, or talent?  I firmly believe that one of the most crucial characteristics of an impactful, generous, and helpful person is passion.  Every society thrives with passionate people, people that are pursuing something that lights them up, whether it be medicine, human rights, culinary pursuits, or anything else! How else can great things be achieved than by those who possess a zeal for their task?  

I have realized in the course of my college career that I am deeply passionate about the Fine Arts, and France - its culture and its language.  I am applying for a summer art study program in Paris with CISabroad, a fantastic resource for those wanting to broaden their cultural perspective and learn.  An opportunity to pursue this program would not only mean the world to me, (studying art and French in Paris?? A dream come true!!) but it would impact my education in an extremely positive way, give me a sense of purpose, and have many more lasting effects.  These things would allow me to be the best possible member of my community that I can be, and help me to figure out how I can use my passions to fulfill another one that I have - serving others and giving back.  Any donation whatsoever would be recieved with the highest amount of gratitude, and would be a step towards a life-changing experience.  Included in the pictures above is one of my pieces, completed fairly recently, just for proof!  Thank you for your time and consideration, and have a lovely day!
