Francesca McCaffrey is a Senior majoring in Fine Arts. Although she enjoys all forms of art, her two favorites are film photography and graphic design.
Francesca has worked within her major as a graphic design intern and as an art specialist: teaching art classes for children of all ages over the last summer. Although she hopes to become an artist after graduation, she would also like to continue working with children. Aside from being an art specialist, Francesca has also worked with kids as a tutor and childcare provider over the last five years, and has found that working with children is another strong passion of hers!
Francesca grew up on the Jersey Shore alongside her sister living with their mother. She cites her entirely female household as the origin of her feminist beliefs, exciting her to engage in political conversations and spaces from an early age. Francesca also minors in Women’s and Gender Studies, and her education in this area frames many of her works in both art and writing. She loves to use feminism, queer identity, and human rights advocacy as themes in her works, and hopes to focus on political and social commentary while writing with HerCampus. As a first year member, Francesca is excited to share her ideas and opinions with the world!
Aside from advocacy, Francesca is also interested in live music, film, theatre, and traveling. She studied Art History in Florence for a full semester, and focused on the Italian Renaissance while taking classes abroad. Her favorite era of art, however, is Impressionism. When she’s not studying art, Francesca is usually either listening to Taylor Swift, watching a psychological thriller, or attending a Broadway show.
Francesca is excited to write about all of her interests and can’t wait for the year ahead!
