Stella Adler Studio of Acting Summer Conservatory Program
No full textProfessional conservatory training has always been on my mind since I began considering a performing arts career. Before this summer, I had taken acting classes and gained stage experience, but I never had the opportunity for full immersion in conservatory training. I applied to the highly competitive Summer Conservatory at Stella Adler Studio of Acting and was admitted after a rigorous process. The program was intensive, with long days of movement, acting techniques, Shakespeare, scene study, and acting for the camera, complemented by practicum sessions and guest speakers from the industry. This training not only strengthened my skills as a performer but also gave me a valuable perspective as a director and collaborator. By the end of the program, I felt more confident in my artistic voice, equipped with new tools for auditions and creative work. Most importantly, I came to appreciate that authenticity lies at the core of art, and that the role of the artist is to stay true to their craft while embracing the ever-evolving flow of ideas
Summer Internship with the Guilford Keeping Society
No full textIn Summer 2025 I was afforded the opportunity to work with the Guilford Keeping Society of Guilford, Connecticut, wherein i served as both docent and intern at the Thomas Griswold House Museum and the Medad Stone Tavern Museum. I was given responsibilities such providing guided tours, opening, closing, and maintaining both sites, encouraging donations, and revising the docent handbook to better support future docents. The internship which I secured after a lengthy search process allowed me to gain hands-on professional experience in a genuine museum setting, particularly with regards to public engagement and visitor services. While my academic background in Art History and Museum Studies prepared me to a great degree, much of my on-site learning came through adapting quickly to new responsibilities and developing confidence in unsupervised work. This internship sharpened valuable skills such as communication and adaptability, which I view as valuable stepping stones toward my goal of a career in Collections Management, even if the specific focus differed from my long-term interests
