I am a seasoned professional in the fine art industry, most recently having served as the Manager of Arts Programs and Exhibitions at Compound. With a B.A. in Art History from UC Riverside, I hold eight years of comprehensive experience in the fine art industry.

Prior to Compound, I spent two years specializing in gallery operations and logistics before transitioning to a four-year tenure as a Fine Art Account Manager at Cooke’s Crating. In this role, I successfully coordinated projects for major museums, galleries, artist studios, and private collectors, showcasing my expertise in project management and client relations.
