Who Am I?

Who Am I?

NYC Artist & Curator Building Safe Spaces for Creatives

I am a creative organizer, producer, and community builder working at the intersection of art, culture, and access. My work focuses on building clear, reliable systems that help creatives navigate opportunities with less friction and more confidence.

I have produced and supported 50+ public programs and events across New York City, contributing to initiatives that have reached 10,000+ attendees, artists, and community members. Alongside live programming, I have supported hundreds of creatives by sharing verified job leads, funding opportunities, and practical guidance through digital platforms and direct outreach. My background spans event production, artist programming, corporate communications, and mass marketing within fast-paced cultural, nonprofit, and institutional environments.

I specialize in operational design, audience development, and creative infrastructure. This includes managing cross-functional teams, vendors, budgets, partnerships, press outreach, and social media strategy to increase visibility, engagement, and participation. I am particularly strong at translating complex systems into accessible tools and workflows that people can actually use.

My work is grounded in equity, accessability, and sustainability within the creative economy. I am committed to building structures that support long-term growth for local communities and cultural workers, while maintaining clarity, care, and accountability at every stage of the process.
