Investing in innovative artists with genre-bending projects

Throughout my career, I have worked across many artistic disciplines - opera, dance, theater, visual arts, exhibitions, music, tv and film/video - in a variety of roles including Writer, Director, Producer, Dramaturg, Content Developer, Researcher, Public Programming and Performance Curator, As a Creative Producer, I have supported the incubation of numerous artistic projects, and produced multiple large scale convenings of artists and scholars.  

As a Marshall Scholar, I earned a DPhil (Doctor of Philosophy) and MSt (Masters) in Classical Languages and Literature from University of Oxford. As a Mellon-Mays Undergraduate Fellow, I earned a BA (Bachelors) with double honors in Classics and English Literature from Stanford University. I am  a proud alumna of the English Speaking Union Scholarship Program as a graduate of The Westonbirt School (UK) . I graduated high school, cum laude, from The Lawrenceville School (NJ). 

I have dedicated myself to pursuing projects in the Arts since my first professional gig at aged 12, playing Martha Cratchitt in The Christmas Carol (McCarter Theater, NJ). After multiple summers at The Hedgerow Theatre Company (PA), where I learned every aspect of theater on and off the stage, I set off for Stanford University, where I founded The Highlighter's Traveling Theater Troupe. While at Oxford, I helmed The Oxford Classical Drama Society, produced and directed numerous projects includingThe Oxford Greek Festival  and The Trojan Women at the Oxford Playhouse. 

Returning to the NY area after graduate school, I continued my career in the Arts, working in various roles as a Producer, Dramaturg, Assistant Director, Company Manager, and Festival Organizer  with theater and opera director, Peter Sellars;  as international Tour Producer for Hijabi Monologues;  as Program, Communications, and Special Projects Manager for The Clinton Foundation (Clinton Global Initiative); as a Film/Tv Festival Organizer for TED (TED Prize); as a Researcher for Focus Features; as a Content, Media, and Project Developer for Ralph Appelbaum Associates (Smithsonian Institute: National Museum of African American  History and Culture); as inaugural Program Director for Park Avenue Armory (NY), and as inaugural Artistic Director for Brown Arts Institute at Brown University.
