Arts Administration

I love helping arts organizations achieve their artistic, financial, and community-centered goals. I have been fortunate to work with a wide array of arts organizations working in dance, theater, music, festivals, grantmaking, and more. 

​

Below are some of the projects that I've worked on. I would be happy to chat with you to learn about how I can help your organization achieve its goals.
