I was raised in a tradition of helpers, people who understood that community is sustained by both what is visible and what is quietly carried. That legacy continues to shape how I move through my work.

For more than fifteen years, I have worked across public art, philanthropy, creative collaboration, and nonprofit leadership, helping bring ambitious ideas to life through thoughtful strategy, strong partnerships, and care for the people at the center of the work. I have led complex cultural initiatives, stewarded multimillion-dollar grant portfolios, and cultivated relationships that connect artists, institutions, and communities.

My work focuses on creating the conditions for meaningful exchange. I am interested in developing frameworks, systems, and opportunities that support creative practice, strengthen civic life, and help people feel more connected to one another and the places they inhabit.

I am particularly drawn to the role of arts and culture as vehicles for storytelling, public memory, and collective imagination. Whether supporting an artist, guiding a community-centered project, or helping an organization navigate growth and change, I am interested in how ideas take root and endure, creating experiences that are both meaningful in the moment and lasting in their impact.
