What I'm looking for

I seek curatorial or gallery roles where I can lead exhibitions, manage operations, build partnerships, and grow professionally in a collaborative art environment.

I am an aspiring art curator and gallerist with hands-on experience presenting concepts, managing creative projects, and overseeing gallery operations in Paris. I handle everything from shooting and editing to design drafts and occasional jewelry engraving.

I have managed high-volume artwork intake, inventory, and delivery logistics while preparing marketing strategies and coordinating Mailchimp events. I also train new managers and franchisees and liaise with partners across cities including Hong Kong, Seoul, Miami, New York, Barcelona, and London.

My background includes a BA in Art History and Fine Arts and experience directing launch events, building partnerships, and maintaining extensive client and supplier relationships. I bring strong organization, problem-solving, and cross-department communication skills to curatorial and gallery roles.
