About Isabella Kershner

Graduate from William & Mary, with a double-major in Classics and Art History. Passionate about education and the preservation of art and culture through passing along knowledge. Proficient in both Latin and Egyptian Hieroglyphics. I intend to pursue a graduate degree and eventual Ph.D. in Art History and Museum Studies, with a focus on Curation. I believe there is nothing more important than the nurturing of the younger generation, and I plan on taking an active role in that development as a curator.
