In the past few years, my work has pivoted from art curation to climate work.

So far, I've focused on creating educational tools and engaging communities with resource-efficient decarbonization initiatives (thermal energy networks). 

Moving forward, I plan to dig deeper into work that builds environmental and community resilience. I’m interested to learn more about community-led planning, urban design, and climate storytelling.

In the arts, my projects and research have centered environmental narratives, interdisciplinary art practices, and curatorial activism. Through this work, I’ve witnessed how connecting artists with communities can catalyze the kinds of critical conversation and collective dreaming that can help us envision more equitable, joyful futures.

I grew up in Vermont’s Mad River Valley and am currently based in Charlotte, NC. I’ve also spent time living and learning in New York City; Cambridge, MA; Florence, Italy; and Burlington, VT.
