What I Do
I focus on engaging ProPublica’s network of major supporters in the Northeast and Midwest, deepening their relationship with our work.
My Background
Prior to joining ProPublica, I served as Storm King Art Center’s associate director of institutional giving and oversaw a substantial increase in the program during my tenure. I have also worked at other New York cultural organizations, including Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and the Brooklyn Museum. I hold a master’s in performing arts administration from New York University and a bachelor’s in music performance (clarinet) from Wayne State University.
I live in the Hudson Valley with my husband and our small dog. I enjoy practicing hot yoga, participating in cultural activities and hiking the area’s beautiful landscapes.
