Hi there!

I’m an artist, writer, and arts administrator with a not-so-secret passion for experimental archives and an interest in the production and display of site-specific art in cultural heritage sites. In all my work, I aim to be a respectful listener and communicator and to facilitate an environment of consensus, collaboration, and co-leadership.

I have more than 15 years of experience in arts administration and exhibition management, primarily in the Bay Area, at Kala Art Institute, the FOR-SITE Foundation, and most recently as the Communications & Outreach Director at Southern Exposure. At Southern Exposure I set and implemented strategies around press, publicity, and publications, internship and volunteer programs, data gathering and analysis. I developed an online program archive and outreach initiative to make the organization’s rich history more accessible to the artist community and general public.

I received my BA from Bryn Mawr College and my MA in Curatorial Studies from Stockholm University, and was a 2017-2018 Fellow with Emerging Arts Professionals – San Francisco Bay Area.
