In June 2024, I studied abroad in Rome as part of a documentary photography course for my Visual Arts minor at Fordham University. During the program, I explored the rich cultural and visual landscape of the city, developing my skills behind the camera while engaging with local life and history. Beyond Rome, I traveled throughout Southern Italy, capturing the diverse environments, people, and stories that define the region. This immersive experience deepened both my artistic practice and understanding of visual storytelling in a global context.
