Bio
I am the Paintings Department curatorial assistant and was previously the summer intern for the same department. After completing my undergraduate degree at UC Irvine with majors in art history and journalism, I have been working at the Getty Museum to research the permanent collection of paintings. I am especially interested in provenance (the record of who has owned our objects over time) and the art market, French 18th and 19th century art, and making art accessible to everyone.
