“As someone with an arts degree, I understand the challenge of maintaining creativity and making money. I have a background in entrepreneurship and have experience working in the corporate sector, the nonprofit world, and in higher education. Helping students find their way is my mission. Through programming, collaboration with faculty, and individual career counseling, I hope to give students what they need to succeed. “The Professional Development office is open for appointments on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Students are also welcomed to drop in on Fridays between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. I’m also happy to work with recent alumni!”

Students may apply any time during the year to ArtBound Initiative for custom placement in an internship abroad (Berlin, Hong Kong) or in New York City or Los Angeles. Each student receives individual attention to identify a custom internship placement based on their background, skills, and goals. Students will earn credit towards their degree in these programs. AAC students are eligible for scholarships!
