Summary

My passion and core belief in art advocacy are deep-rooted in the invaluable role art and philanthropy play in elevating the quality of our lives and creating positive social impact and change with the transformative power of art. As an ardent ambassador and advocate for the arts, I invest in cultivating the culture of philanthropy on a daily basis.

With my diverse professional background, I have acquired highly developed interpersonal skills and a capacity to straddle different professional spheres successfully, which are vital to connecting and building relationships with people from diverse social, cultural, and economic backgrounds. Also, my mature insight into the complex ecosystem of the current art industry grants me unique interdisciplinary views and outlets to bridge the for-profit and nonprofit art sectors to leverage impact.

As a goal-driven facilitative leader, I create a people-centric work environment with an emphasis on process development for creative problem solving, which is conducive to effective collaboration and innovation. I execute an interdisciplinary and entrepreneurial approach to galvanize success in promoting arts and culture.
