Having the opportunity to work as an intern in UBW's marketing department, she deeply resonated with the core values and initiative Urban Bush Women has taken in preserving the arctic legacy of unrepresented artists. In her new role as a Marketing Assistant, she hopes to continue encouraging and providing platforms for the voices of the unheard.
