Daniella Snyder

Daniella graduated cum laude from Gettysburg College in 2018 with a Bachelors degree in English and Art History. During her time at Gettysburg, she served as the editor-in-chief of the award-winning student run newspaper, The Gettysburgian. Daniella also worked for the Women's & LGBTQA Resource Center, as well as the on-campus art gallery, Schmucker Art Gallery, where she assisted with curation, installation, and giving tours. Her love for both visual art and literature guided her academic pursuits throughout her undergraduate career. 
Daniella's senior thesis focused on the poetry of Frank O'Hara and the ways in which his poetry works in conversation with the contemporary art movements of that moment: Abstract Expressionism, The New York School, and Pop Art. Working at the intersection between the two disciplines inspired her pursuit for graduate research, as she hopes to continue to study the ways literary and visual analysis work together. Daniella's literary interests also include 20th and 21st American fiction, gender & sexuality studies, poetry, and graphic novels. 
Outside of academic pursuits, Daniella loves doing typical Art History/English major things, like sitting in coffee shops, visiting used bookstores, walking around art museums, and making art of her own.
