At the heart of my work is one guiding question: how can arts philanthropy evolve to reflect the creativity, equity, and empathy that the arts themselves embody?

Through ongoing research, field conversations, and reflection on nearly two decades of experience in arts leadership, I’m examining how institutions can move beyond transactional giving models to build deeper, more meaningful relationships with their communities. My work explores the intersection of storytelling, strategy, and social impact—with a focus on making philanthropy more human-centered, inclusive, and connected.

Drawing from my experience across the performing arts, my research, writing, and presentations consider how creativity can lead the way in redefining philanthropy itself. This work continues to inform new approaches to donor engagement, institutional culture, and the shared belief that the arts have the power to change how we give.
