I am an independent curator, creative producer, consultant, researcher, and writer in contemporary performance and visual art, based on Twana lands on the Olympic Peninsula in rural Washington. Across all of my work, I strive for anti-racism, equity, and justice and to center artists and communities whose ideas and identities exist outside dominant cultures and mainstream art worlds and economies. 

I am currently the producer of new interdisciplinary performance works by San Cha ; Ahamefule J. Oluo; Holland Andrews; and yuniya edi kwon, which are variously funded by Creative Capital, Guggenheim Foundation, National Performance Network, MAP Fund, and more, and which have been supported and presented by renowned residencies, organizations, and festivals nationally and internationally. With San Cha, I was awarded the international Music Theatre Now Award (2025) for her contemporary opera, Inebria me.

Since 2024, I have worked as an independent consultant with National Performance Network. From 2024-25, I produced a robust program evaluation of their Creation & Development Program at its 20-year mark, as well as conducting a current participatory research process with artists and nonprofit arts organizations to explore and reimagine the future of artists' mobility. I work with a number of other performing, visual, and multidisciplinary artists and organizations in a range of capacities.

From 2012-2023, I was a programs director, artistic director, and curator at Portland Institute for Contemporary Art (PICA), organizing visual art exhibitions; experimental dance, theatre, and performance; sound art; public programs; publications; residencies; community events; grant making through the Andy Warhol Foundation's Regional Regranting Network; and the annual, world-renowned Time-Based Art Festival. Curatorial highlights of my tenure included the establishment of a Guest Scholars & Writers series for the TBA Festival; a symposium, film screening, and public programs on the historicization of HIV/AIDS featuring Sarah Schulman and in partnership with Visual AIDS for Day With(out) Art; Remembering to Remember: Experiments in Sound, co-curated with Felisha Ledesma; No Human Involved: The 5th Annual Sex Workers' Art Show co-curated with STROLL PDX; and two exhibitions co-curated with Kristan Kennedy: We Got Each Others' Back: Carlos Motta with Julio Salgado, Edna Vázquez, and Heldáy de la Cruz, and THROUGH AND THROUGH AND THROUGH: New Work by Gordon Hall, paired with a companion publication of writing by the artist titled OVER-BELIEFS: Collected Writings, 2011-2018.

Since relocating to Washington State, I have served as a co-curator of the 2023 Out of Sight survey exhibition of Pacific Northwest contemporary art and of On the Boards' 2025 Northwest New Works Festival while traveling and working remotely for other projects based around the country.

Outside of institutional curatorial essays and publications, my writing has been published in both art and hybrid journals, in print and online, nationally and internationally. I am currently developing an experimental narrative and archival project about death, grief, and queer friendship.

I hold a BA in Contemporary Visual Culture & Gender Studies from the Johnston Center for Integrative Studies in California and MS in Arts Management from University of Oregon.
