As the current Special Events Associate at the Montclair Art Museum I spearhead fundraising and event planning throughout the fiscal year with a focus in expanding museum outreach. In addition to managing logistical assets for current and future events, responsibilities include sponsor and community outreach for potential partnerships, and working inter-departmentally to ensure the museum's fundraising needs are met. My approach to event planning and fundraising is rooted within making a lasting impression - putting on a memorable event that leaves the visitor eager for the next!

Proficient in editing, research, analysis, outreach, and exhibition design. Passionate and motivated, with a drive for excellence, I am a skilled multitasker as a former teaching assistant and president of a student-run organization. Amicable and easy to work with, I am visually oriented, work exceptionally well within a group, and instinctively creative in all project endeavors. 

In addition to event planning, I also enjoy engaging myself creatively through web design. Experience in phone layout design and website design - I prioritize accessibility whilst using bold stylistic choices to make content stand out.
