## About

```text
At Chavón School of Design, I guide multiple student projects, offering feedback and support as students develop and execute their work. I also coordinate coursework, deadlines, and project requirements.

At Casa Quién Gallery, I managed day-to-day operations and relationships with artists, collectors, institutional partners, and vendors. I coordinated exhibitions, art fairs, presentations, and their international logistics.

My work has also included coordinating exhibitions and public programming at Ozamía and Centro Cultural Bannereservas. At Bansai, I managed the website and digital content, and at Mercado Tropical I developed communication strategies and content for press, advertising, and digital platforms.
