CURRICULUM VITAE
(that's Latin for 'the course of my life')
In case you don't know by now...
My name is Kinsey, and it's a pleasure to share my work with you!
I am a hands-on, trial-and-error type of learner with an eye for consistency, an appreciation for creative thinking, and a drive to learn. I delight in opportunities to foster creativity and confidence in others,
especially if those opportunities allow me to combine my love for people with my love for the arts.
I am unafraid to take risks, challenge standards, and ask questions.
The world is full of stories. Let's tell yours together.
