Curator, Arts Administrator and Cultural Diplomat
Accomplished professional with rich experience in directing high-profile cultural initiatives, exhibitions, and cultural programs.
In 2018 I governed all facets of the project presented by the US Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale. A cultural diplomat, I excel in orchestrating public programs and exhibitions, working with international artists and prestigious institutions, to foster cross-cultural exchanges and advance initiatives that champion equity, diversity, and inclusion to forge international relations with interpersonal, leadership, and creative skills. |
Curatorial
My profession is focused on the management and production of exhibitions that explore current relevant issues through art and design. With experience developed while working in the hectic world of Biennials, I enjoy each and every moment of exhibitions planning, from the spark of a new concept to the physical installation of artworks.

Community Engagement
My curatorial work extends to the production of public programs, that aim at promoting all sorts of cultural practices and performing arts, actively engaging communities nationally and internationally.
|
Cultural Diplomacy
Working with international artists and institutions across countries, I expanded my professional focus to include cultural diplomacy. My work aims to unveil cross-cultural practices as a platform for discussion around politically and socially engaged issues.

I had come to believe that art must be disturbing, art must ask questions, art must predict the future.
