Favorite memory of life at Carleton 

“By my senior year, Boliou felt like home.”

Favorite memory of studying with Dan Bruggeman, Fred Hagstrom and Linda River Rossi 

“Each of these educators are remarkable and left an imprint on how I go about life as an artist. They are generous, incisive, kind, and devoted. I try to model these qualities as an artist and as an art professor.”
