I’m an arts executive and advocate with the soul of an artist. I’m passionate about mission-driven community impact, arts education, and arts advocacy, and I believe the arts transform lives and improve the mental and physical health of individuals and communities. They’re essential, not extra.
For more than 20 years, I’ve built and led arts organizations. I co-founded New Britain Youth Theater, which was named Connecticut’s Best Children’s Theater, and I led the Mosesian Center for the Arts through the pandemic, a $3.5M capital campaign, and a rebuilt programming model. I’ve also advised organizations through growth, transition, and crisis.
What makes me different: a JD from Fordham University School of Law and an MFA in Theater Management and Producing from Columbia University School of the Arts. I can negotiate contracts, manage capital projects, and navigate nonprofit governance while staying grounded in mission-driven creative programming. I know how to tell the stories that move people to engage, invest, and participate.
