I graduated from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University with honors in 2014. I was first introduced to ceramics while at Alfred and felt an immediate connection with the material, and the pottery wheel. A few weeks before graduating from Alfred, I was recruited to help open the first US branch of Spin Ceramics in New York City. I completed a four month residency at Sculpture Space NYC during my time in the big apple.
