Experienced museum professional and division director. With over 15 years of museum experience, I'm driven by my passion for the visual arts, and working collaboratively with a creative team in directing engaging, inspiring, and diverse exhibitions and publications.
As the former Director of Curatorial Affairs at the Museum of Fine Arts, I contributed to the vision, strategy, and management of the curatorial division. I supervised and aligned the activities and workflows for exhibitions, loans, and the permanent collection. I was responsible for the planning, administration, and implementation of exhibition programs, both temporary and traveling, as well as the direction and production of museum publications. I collaborated with other departments, external partners, and stakeholders to ensure the quality and impact of the museum's offerings. I also supported the fundraising, marketing, and education initiatives of the museum, and fostered a culture of excellence, innovation, and collaboration.
