About

With a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology and Studio Art from the University of Virginia, I have cultivated a diverse career in events, marketing, and design. Currently self-employed, I provide freelance services in event programming, graphic design, and digital marketing for clients such as Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection and SitusAMC. My previous roles include serving as Administrator and Acting Visual Arts Manager at the Embassy of Australia in the United States, where I facilitated high-profile meetings, managed gallery exhibitions, and coordinated public diplomacy events. Additionally, as an Education and Marketing Intern at the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection, I produced interactive public art projects and supported international artists in residence. My experience spans office management, event coordination, and creative project execution, making me a versatile professional in the arts and marketing sectors.
