CAA News Today

As a proud CAA member and professional committee co-chair, I am honored to be a candidate for the Emerging Professional Director position on the CAA Board of Directors.

Since joining the CAA Museum Committee in 2022 and stepping into the Chair role in 2023, I have collaborated with an incredible team to develop resources and programs. From a resource guide for museum professionals to conference sessions and networking events, a museum-focused podcast series to the review and revision of seven professional practice guidelines, these efforts deepened engagement across museum communities and supported knowledge-sharing. This year, as Co-Chair, I supported our leadership transition and improved documentation to ensure continuity for future committee members, and I hope to apply my committee experiences to support CAA and its constituents.

Beyond CAA, I am the Director of Learning & Engagement at the Everson Museum of Art, maintain a visual arts practice, and serve as the Co-Chair for Fundraising with the Tang Contemporaries. As an art museum educator, leader, and artist, I bring a multifaceted perspective on issues facing art history, arts, and museum professionals. As a former DEAI Coordinator and student dis/ability union researcher, I bring experience with policy development and advocacy around accessibility, equity, and inclusion.

Supporting emerging professionals has been a consistent throughline in my work. I have mentored through Skidmore College and Harvard Graduate School of Education alumni networks, co-chaired the Young and Emerging Professionals Peer Affinity Gathering for the New England Museums Association, and contributed to advocacy campaigns with the National Emerging Museum Professionals Network.

Ultimately, my involvement with CAA has been one of the most meaningful parts of my professional journey. Having first encountered CAA as an undergraduate, I experienced its power to convene, inspire, and advance our field. Now as an early-career leader, I hope to support communication, collaboration, and operations among membership, committees, and leadership to support CAA’s vitality. I am deeply committed to advancing equity and access, defending artistic and academic freedoms, fostering financial resilience in the wake of funding cuts, and exploring innovations that support engagement across our community. I bring strengths in project management, engagement, fundraising, relationship-building, and strategy, and through this role, I hope to advocate for the evolving needs of our community and champion emerging professional voices.
