I have focused my career on creating accessible and equitable spaces and systems for artists, arts audiences, students, and administrators. Most of my work has been centered on collaboration and community impact. I love saying “yes” to new ideas and figuring out how to make it happen.
Outside of work, I really enjoy interior design and renovation. I watch far too much HGTV and have spent a good part of the last several years doing a gut remodel of my condo. I also spend time watching movies and TV (big superhero genre fan), reading books and audiobooks, and love traveling.
