Acknowledgments
I would first like to thank my advisor, Dr. Kim Butler Wingfield. Her commitment, wealth of knowledge, and advice have been essential to me during the process of completing this thesis capstone. Secondly, I would like to thank my second reader, Dr. Joanne Allen, for all of her feedback, encouragement, and commitment to my project. Both of them have helped transform my project into something I am proud of. Thank you, truly.
I would also like to thank Dr. Sam Sadow for giving me the opportunity to hone my WordPress skills. His leadership and advice has enriched my experience during the past two years at American University.
To my family, thank you for everything. To my parents and grandparents: thank you for your encouragement and support. You have invested in me, and I hope I have made your belief in me worth it.
To my siblings: thank you for keeping me accountable and tolerating my ramblings about Medieval art history. You three will always be my first (and greatest) friends.
