Tiffany Miller
I am a hardworking, passionate and dedicated student who works well with others as well as independently. I thrive in and am passionate about learning languages and working/learning in museum settings. My career goals include traveling and translating/teaching languages as well as working in a museum internationally, though I am primarily interested in Italian art/architecture, culture and history. I want to learn more about and immerse myself within a variety of cultures across the world. I am fascinated with art history and how art can bring together cultures.
