CURRENT ROLE

As of September / 2022
​I took on the role of Polk Bros Director of School, Youth Community Programs at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. In this role, I provide strategic planning and support for the museum's long-term engagement projects for young folks and educators, as well as serve as the liaison for the Artistic Division Advisory Partner program. 
"The goal is to be at least a little better than I was yesterday.”

Before returning to to Chicago I spent 7 years in Seattle, WA working with creative and cultural leaders from all around the region to amplify the work or emerging artists, create unique learning and social engagements and support local community projects. 

Through work with Pratt Fine Arts Center, James and Janie Washington Foundation, Northwest African American Museum, Wing Luke Museum, Seattle Art Museum, Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI), Tacoma Art Museum, Seattle Public Library, Arts Corps, Langston, CD Forum, Historic Central Area Arts and Cultural District, Black & Tan Hall, Midtown Square, Folklife Festival and Shunpike just to name a few. I left a lasting mark on the city.
