What I do

With over 15 years of experience leading public programs, building strategic partnerships, and activating spaces, I am passionate about helping organizations amplify their mission and engage their communities. My leadership roles at Edible Schoolyard NYC, Brooklyn Children's Museum, Madison Square Park Conservancy, and my service on the Board of Astoria Park Alliance have equipped me to create inclusive, impactful experiences and dynamic programs that leave a lasting impact.

If you're ready to enhance your organization's reach, let’s connect to explore how I can support your mission! Whether it is strategic program development, partnership building, creative space activation, or dynamic community-centered programming, I am fully committed to helping your organization and community.

LARGE-SCALE EVENT
PLANNING & MANAGEMENT

Responsible for $1.2M budgets for music, art, family, community, and horticulture programs. Directly accountable for all logistics, including day-of operations, marketing, evaluation, permits, licensing, and talent and crew management.

 

Fundraising

Anything that benefits the community needs capital behind it. From artists to vendors, programs cost money to produce, and I’m well-versed in raising the capital to put these programs in motion. I have experience in grant writing, fundraising events, and sponsorship acquisition.

Cultural Programming
& Education

Cultural programming requires research, consideration, and the utmost care to make the event as authentic as possible. Educational content is woven into each event through interpretation, curriculum, and workshops for all ages.

Data-driven Strategic Planning

Deep knowledge of analyzing data, and collaboration with community stakeholders, trustees, and consultants to build strategic plans which best serve the ever-changing needs of the NYC community. This kind of strategic planning has provided immensely valuable data to tailor the programming to any given community.

Team leadership

In my approach to team management, I prioritize collaboration, fostering a work environment where diverse strengths come together for collective success. I aim to create a dynamic atmosphere that values each team member.

Partnerships

I find the most long-lasting partnerships result in the best collaborations, and I carry my relationships wherever I go. I have forged valuable relationships with non-profits, cultural institutions, NYC Dept. of Ed, artists, elected officials, libraries, restaurants, religious institutions, and Universities.
