Don't worry, I'll spare you from having to read an entire paragraph written in my own handwriting. Not to get all resume-y on you, but I know you want the deets first, so I'll give 'em to you straight:
James Madison University | May 2026
Major: Media Arts and Design
Concentration: Creative Advertising
Minor: Studio Art
Concentration: Ceramics
As I've grown as an artist over the years, I've come to this conclusion: the most important part of art is the people behind it. The culmination of stories, experiences, and emotion that help connect all of us are what feed authenticity.
And without authenticity, art simply doesn't have a point.
So here are my people!
Clearly, I'm more of a visual person, so I'll let my pictures tell you who I am, and I'll let someone else put it into words:
"I’ve had the unique privilege of watching Madison grow in her creativity for the last eight years—first as her teacher in her secondary Arts Academy and most recently as our three year intern at Rocktown Silent Disco and Any Given Child Shenandoah Valley.
Madison is the rare kind of student who is just as dependable as she is daring. After working with her in our internship program, I can tell you she approaches every project with a joyful, customer-focused energy that makes the work feel like play, yet she never loses sight of the hard work required to make an event or project successful.
What I love most about Madison’s artistry is her willingness to take risks; she’s never afraid to try something new if it means creating a better experience for the community. She is a lifelong learner, a natural leader, and quite simply, a joyful team player to have on our team. If you have the chance to collaborate with her, take it—you’ll get a brilliant creative mind, rock solid character, and you will be sure to laugh along the way!"
