Message

At Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, I manage day-to-day operations across four production studios, including purchasing, inventory, scheduling, and instructor needs. I developed and implemented a centralized inventory system to improve visibility into materials and studio resources.

At Pittsburgh Glass Center, I supported studio administration, registration, payments, communications, and event logistics. I also managed daily operations and trained student workers at Columbus College of Art & Design, and I manage the administrative, financial, and logistical parts of my independent artistic practice.
