I build the digital systems, communications, and audience experiences that help cultural organizations thrive.
I'm a Toronto-based digital producer with 12 years of experience leading festival operations, digital platforms, audience engagement, and public-facing communications for a nonprofit arts organization in the Canadian screen sector.
Since 2015, I've shaped the year-round digital presence and day-to-day operations of the Blood in the Snow Film Festival and the Deadly Exposure Industry Conference—supporting the organization through every stage of planning, delivery, and long-term growth.
My work spans website development and accessibility, content strategy, social media, ticketing, and event photography. I also contribute to strategic planning, policy development, and organizational sustainability.
My academic background in art history, curatorial studies, and education continues to shape how I think about audience engagement, accessibility, and the systems that support creative organizations.
