No matter the format, my work is rooted in the belief that artists can be powerful cultural leaders when they are given the space, support, and freedom to lead.

🔹 Artistic Leadership & Program Design

Associate Dean of Visiting Faculty and Entrepreneurship
At the New World Symphony, I lead the design and vision for residencies that feature some of the most forward-thinking artists in the field. The visits are designed to be structured as immersive learning opportunities where emerging musicians can engage deeply with new ideas, career possibilities, and artistic models.

What I Do:

  • Curate and shape the Visiting Faculty experience

  • Introduce fellows to interdisciplinary thinkers and boundary-pushing artists

  • Integrate entrepreneurial tools and artistic mentorship across the season

  • Align program values with equity, innovation, and leadership development

🔹 Speaking & Facilitation

I lead talks and workshops that challenge the norms of classical training and career-building. Whether I’m in a conservatory classroom, at a national conference, or with a cohort of fellows, I create space for bold questions, honest dialogue, and actionable insight.

Topics I Speak On:

  • Entrepreneurship in classical music

  • Community-centered leadership

  • Breaking away from perfectionism

  • Creating change inside institutions

  • Building a sustainable and values-aligned career

🔹 Mentorship & Coaching for Emerging Artists

From idea to impact, I help young professionals step into their power as leaders and creators. Whether one-on-one or in group settings, my mentorship style is practical, affirming, and deeply individualized. Every person has a different path towards fulfillment, and no two artists build the same path.

Ways I Support Artists:

  • Private coaching on career clarity, project development, and public speaking

  • Navigational tools for residencies, grants, and life after school

  • Honest feedback that empowers bold decision-making

  • Championing artists who think and lead differently
