I have more than a decade of experience in producing content, building platforms, and managing projects for cultural non-profits. Focused on aligning opportunities with institutional priorities, I am savvy about leading collaborative teams to create solutions.

I have specialized in user research, creative technology, and documentary-style storytelling. My background is in journalism, graphic design, and arts management.

Bio

For the past decade, I have focused on digital strategy and production for museums and cultural organizations. As a skilled and experienced project manager, I have a portfolio of projects that includes website design, video production, digital publishing, and platform design and development. I approach collaboration with energy, organization, and nuance.

I am currently working for The Metropolitan Museum of Art as an editorial manager and executive producer. I previously held digital leadership roles at the Clyfford Still Museum in Denver and the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, and have also worked as a digital strategy and production consultant for the Andy Warhol Museum, the Denver Botanic Gardens, the University of Colorado, Art21, the Biennial of the Americas, the Denver Art Museum, and the J. Paul Getty Trust.

I am also a co-founder of Denver-based non-profit Tilt West, an organization whose mission is to promote critical discourse focused on arts and culture through live events and publishing efforts. I have taught undergraduate and graduate-level students as adjunct faculty at several colleges and universities, including the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Columbia College Chicago, and the University of Colorado Denver.
