An ambitious kid forcing herself into the arts industry as an arts administrator, designer, and storyteller. Strong focus on creation, curation, community and culture. Both where these things intersect and how to encourage them into society to increase wellbeing primarily for marginalized and underrepresented communities.

A well-rounded, positive, respectful and self-motivated team player with years of diversified experience in arts administration, gallery operations, communications, strategic marketing, community outreach, client management, event planning and more. A proven ability to motivate and assist others to develop skills. Comfortable with file-management (digital and analog), archival work, presentation preparation, and pitching. Sound understanding of business practices and process with an orientation to cost-effectiveness and profitability.

Strong interests in visual arts, design, culture, and how those things can be used together to increase the wellbeing of folks primarily living in metropolises. Superb verbal and written communication skills paired with a hands-on leadership style and stature. Highly motivated to ensure a high quality of accessible living within our communities by implementing equity, diversity, and inclusion principles into all sectors of work.

Let’s work together.
