Frequently Asked Questions
-
I grew up surrounded by creativity. It was in my family's cooking, music, storytelling, craftsmanship, photography, scholarship, and deep appreciation for culture. Creativity was never treated as a hobby. It was identity. It was language. It was an inheritance.
-
I help artists, nonprofits, cultural organizations, and communities bring ideas into the world. My work spans public art, exhibitions, grantmaking, creative placemaking, organizational leadership, and cultural strategy. Most often, I find myself somewhere between vision and implementation, helping connect people, resources, and ideas.
-
Integrity. As a kid, there was no boogeyman. There was karma. Learning that early teaches you that accountability is not situational. I try to make decisions I would be willing to stand by whether anyone is watching or not.
-
"To whom much is given, much is required."
Whenever a seat at the table opened and I was invited in, I understood it came with responsibility. Public funding and community trust are not entitlements. They are obligations. Stewardship means honoring that access with transparency, care, and a commitment to serving something larger than yourself.

I hope people leave feeling seen, cared for, and connected. I hope they leave knowing that what brought us together was accomplished with intention and grace, and inspired to step more fully into whatever they are being called toward next.

Organization is my love language. I love big ideas, but I am just as interested in the details that bring them to life. Who is unlocking the building? Where is the funding coming from? Has the insurance certificate been submitted? What is the rain plan?
Somewhere between vision and execution is where I feel most at home.
