Bio

I am a professional arts and culture executive with more than 25 years of diverse and innovative experience in multiple art forms, including theatre, music, and dance. I have a deep and passionate commitment to the live performing arts and their transformative value in society.

I have a robust understanding of the dynamic and evolving arts and entertainment marketplace, and I bring innovative strategic solutions for addressing threats, seizing opportunities, and generating earned and contributed revenue from multiple sources. In fact, I have written and secured grants and sponsorships totaling more than $3 million and growing, including the first National Endowment for the Arts grant for Theatre West. I have also achieved three considerable surpluses in the last three fiscal years, despite the challenges posed by the pandemic. I am a champion of arts and culture, and I strive to serve my team, my organization, my stakeholders, audiences, and patrons with excellence.
