Creative professional who thrives on finding fun and exciting ways to improve professionally and personally. Starting my career in a small glass studio as an assistant to the assistant, I have found creative and hands on ways to end up in my current role as Buyer at the Coning Museum of Glass. I am a hardworking individual who enjoys waking up in beautiful places and finding new ways to challenge myself. I have had the opportunity to work with many wonderful individuals including a wonderful group of artists at The Arts Business Institute who taught me that learning is a process, and that lesson remains one of my guiding principles. I find that I am my best being open and willing to learn, seeking ways to innovate, and working on a team of passional people. In every role, I have found ways to grow revenue, reach, and increase brand identity. The moments I am proud of include using experiential retail to increase sales from $1.2M to 3$M, improving user experience and brand identity to double sales 4 years straight and using a shed to build an ice cream stand that had $450K in sales in 6 months. I take joy in the opportunities I have had to educate and mentor artists and colleagues.
