As co-founder and Executive Director I led our efforts in support of a $300,000 grant we had been awarded from Grant for the Web to provide educational and financial support to musicians and artists whose ability to perform, tour, and earn a living has been negatively affected by COVID-19. A.R.T. provided $1,500 to artists in need and amplified the stories, performances, and creations they had hoped to share with the world before the pandemic limited their ability to do so.

I led the conference programming team, most recently as the Head of Conference Programming and Strategy, and as the Conference Manager and a Senior Conference Programmer prior to that. On a day-to-day basis, I managed more than twenty people across three departments and reported directly into the c-suite and SXSW owners. My primary responsibility was to determine the conference strategy year over year, set the scope and goals for each conference, and ensure that SXSW was the home of the future of technology, film, and music.
