I managed day-to-day gallery operations while cultivating and maintaining relationships with gallery artists, clients and collectors. I was also responsible for organizing and coordinating exhibitions, selling artwork, and the organization and maintenance of gallery space / storage. The position was heavily oriented towards Art handling: exhibit installation, storage, shipping and packing. I also designed marketing initiatives and materials for both digital and print, Implement marketing and PR plan, draft press releases and correspondence, and manage the gallery's social media presence. On the more technical side I maintained the daily sales journal, organize loans and consignments between other institutions or individuals, orversee and updating the website, and maintain inventory of all artwork. I was also responsible for supervising our summer interns.

As Assistant Curator at Kohl Gallery I fill a variety of technical and administrative roles. Foremost, I supervise and assist in the installations and de-installs throughout the academic year. This includes everything from organizing an installation schedule and working with the artists, to physically handling and installing the work myself. I also handle the lighting of the artwork for each exhibition. In the weeks leading up to our exhibitions, I research material for wall text labels, and other auxiliary texts we may choose to produce. Between shows I refurbish the gallery space. In some cases walls must be re-arranged or repairs must be executed after larger installation pieces are removed. However, the majority of the work involves patching holes and re-painting the space. The second major responsibility is the management of the intern program. I develop the schedules for open hours and delegate research and installation tasks during our prep-times. During downtime between shows I work with Head Curator, Alex Castro, on strategic planning for future shows and Kohl Gallery operations.
