Visitor services and museum professional with curatorial and programming experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a museum and visitor services professional with hands-on experience in curatorial assistance, visitor engagement, and exhibition support. I have worked as a docent and manager in prominent contemporary art institutions, and I create multimedia content and podcasts that connect audiences with artists and cultural programs.
My curatorial work includes artist research, studio visits, and writing didactic texts for exhibitions, completed while collaborating directly with curatorial leadership. I have led scheduling and supervision of front-of-house teams, stepped in as acting manager, and delivered guided tours and visitor programs that enhance gallery experiences.
I bring practical gallery operations knowledge from internship to managerial roles, strong communication and editing skills from podcast production, and a consistent record of supporting exhibitions from installation through public engagement. I am driven to foster accessible, engaging cultural experiences and contribute to exhibition development and visitor-centered programming.
