New York, New York, United States
I am an experienced arts administrator with a Master of Arts in Performing Arts Administration from New York University. I have worked with a wide range of donors, patrons, artists, and other arts administrators. I am enthusiastic about supporting the arts through development and fundraising. While dance administration is my passion, I have an appreciation for all forms of art and a belief in helping others through nonprofit administration. I am skilled in leadership, teamwork, and several CRMs. My undergraduate degrees in Dance and Classics have helped inform my creative practice as a dancer, while my dance practice informs my work as an arts administrator.
