- “The biggest thing that I am so thankful for and I really do think is what led me down the path that I ended up on is the Kohl Gallery. At the time, when I got the job at the gallery, I didn’t really know about the professional art world, and the position exposed me to museum and gallery practices that gave me a sense of the different avenues I could choose to go down. It showed me what I liked and disliked, where my strengths were, and that working in the arts was a real possibility for me.”
