LinkedIn - Press about my work

I am seeking opportunities that use my experience in communication, digital design, advocacy, educational programming, volunteer coordination and event planning for organizations, individuals, and businesses in the Finger Lakes region that work in support of local resources, history, anti-racism, Indigenous reparations, community support, and rural arts.

I’m a Finger Lakes kid, I grew up in Ithaca, Hector, and Trumansburg the child of two accomplished artist parents. I excelled in academics focusing on the intersectionality of justice movements and global Indigenous reparations work. I have worked across multiple industries in my adult life, but am consistently drawn to the arts, local history, local food networks, and community support.

My main focus these days is on managing the intentional artist community of the ARQ Barn, now entering its 27th year. But inherited dreams don’t manage to cover all the bills…join me as I try to freelance my way through the end of capitalism - using my skills at equity and community building, digital design, exhibit curation, event planning, grant writing, and anything I put my mind towards as I try to keep things turning on a social and personal level.
