I was an intern in the Web Group at the Getty Trust in the summer of 2010. My focus was on writing blog posts for the Getty Iris, but I also assisted with other projects in the department. This fall I’ll be starting my senior year at Williams College, where I’m an art history major with an interest in classical Greek vase-painting and sculpture. Although I spend most of the year at school, Los Angeles is my favorite place to be. I try to spend as much time as I can exploring all the things this beautiful city has to offer.
