ABOUT

From a 146 year old institution to an inspired start-up — I have director level experience in strategic planning, creative content, project + event management, recruiting + sales, and biz dev.  

My love for transforming ideas into action, for crafting curiosity, for spearheading innovation, and cultivating fruitful partnerships is armed with a "get it done" enthusiasm and a passion for advancing defined trajectories and realizing the creative goals of others. I live at the intersection of tactical diligence and productive play. 

DIY inquiry is at the heart of my educational and professional background in the arts and sciences. From SFAI to Ars Citizen, and MOCFA to MCCLA, a belief in the power of audacity - of radical gestures - piloted each role. Thriving in the hustle, I consistently exceeded revenue targets and have been instrumental in managing events and programs from ideation execution, launching initatives like virtual tours and interactive online events, and inspiring collaborative coordination within team and organization.        

I continue to ally with enterprises that drive experimentation, tackle complex challenges through knowledge exchange, and catalyze longstanding and prolific relationships with thought leaders, artists, and community to expand and redefine the possibilities of these synergistic energies in a globalized twenty-first century.

. . .

Oh, and when I'm not diving into work, you can find me running to kraut rock beats or treading the globe, chasing that endless summer.
