Creative architect and curator with a passion for community engagement.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
As an architect and curator, I have dedicated my career to the renovation and redesign of abandoned buildings, creating spaces that foster artistic expression and community engagement. My education at the Massachusetts College of Art & Design, where I graduated with Academic Honors, has equipped me with a strong foundation in interrelated media, allowing me to curate and support artists, students, and guests effectively.
Throughout my career, I have co-founded and organized various initiatives, including youth empowerment programs and community workshops. My experience as an English teacher in Japan and as a community engagement associate in Boston has honed my skills in facilitating discussions, organizing events, and managing outreach efforts. I have a proven track record of producing donation-based concerts and organizing large-scale community events, such as the SleepoverFest music festival.
In addition to my artistic endeavors, I possess a diverse skill set in media production, graphic design, and teaching. I am passionate about building student leadership skills and fostering creativity in youth through innovative programs and workshops.
