Tell us about the path that your career has taken since college.
I currently work as an Assistant Director at a fine art gallery, Bonner David Galleries in Scottsdale, AZ. I worked at Southside Gallery during my time at Ole Miss and I came to love working in the gallery space. Studying art history allowed me to find my passion in selling fine art.
Why study art history?
I have found that my education in liberal arts has helped me become a more critical thinker and I developed skills beyond that of a business major.
