With almost a decade of experience as a nonprofit professional and cultural worker, I possess a deep comprehension of meaningful, grassroots community building as well as larger philanthropic endeavors. Throughout my career, I've demonstrated a consistent commitment to successfully leading teams towards collective goals across departments and sectors. My expertise spans strategic planning, fundraising, and execution of creative projects and events whether in the role of an employee or independent consultant. By emphasizing collective contribution rather than hierarchy, my leadership style prioritizes maintaining spaces of respect, grace, comradery and positive morale for maximum collaboration and investment into team success.In my various roles I have built programming frameworks, led million-dollar fundraising campaigns, and brought compelling, impactful arts programming to various audiences. As a curator and cultural worker I have worked with over 500 artists and practitioners across more than 100 projects and events, amplifying creative practice and thought-leadership.I've curated numerous exhibitions at institutions including The Phillips Collection, Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington, and Banneker-Douglass-Tubman Museum. I’ve served as a juror for awards and grants including Untitled Art Fair's Residency Prize, The Greater Milwaukee Foundation's Mary L. Nohl Fellowship Award, Washington Project for the Arts' Wherewithal Grants, and Charlotte Street Foundation's Rocket Grants. I’ve also collaborated on creative projects with organizations including Vans Shoes' Foot the Bill initiative, B&O Railroad Museum's Street Art Competition, and Kaiser Permanente's Thrive campaign.
