I am an independent curator and scholar based in New York City. I hold a B.A. from Wellesley College, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in the history of art from the University of Pennsylvania. My doctoral dissertation, "Negotiating Modernity: Edvard Munch's Late Figural Work, 1900-1925," focused on the Norwegian artist's late career and, more specifically, his use of female models during the first few decades of the 20th century. My current scholarly work covers a wide range of time periods, media, and geographic areas. I am especially interested in the work of Scandinavian and Northern European artists between 1850 to the present day. I examine issues of race, colonialism, and national identity as it pertains to the work of contemporary Scandinavian artists.

I am currently a Program Officer at the American Coucil of Learned Societies. I oversee multiple fellowship programs, including art-history focused funding for predoctoral students as well as recent Ph.Ds.

From 2019-2020, I served as the Director of Communications, Marketing, and Membership at CAA, the preeminent international leadership organization in the visual arts. CAA promotes the understanding of the visual arts through advocacy, intellectual engagement, and a commitment to the diversity of practices and practitioners.

From 2012-2015, I was the Andrew W. Mellon Curatorial Fellow in the Department of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs at the RISD Museum. Although I had some prior experience with works on paper as a graduate student, this day-to-day experience with RISD's collection gave me a newfound appreciation and insight for drawings, photographs, and in particular, prints.

I am a past President of the Association of Print Scholars (APS), a non-profit organization that aims to foster greater communication and collaboration between the disparate groups in the printmaking world: artists, scholars, curators, printmakers, publishers, dealers, paper conservators, and collectors. APS supports innovative discourse and scholarship in printmaking.

As a writer, curator, and educator, I have a passion for bringing the stories of art and artists to a wide audience. I have collaborated with non-profits, major civic museums, and academic museums. I have taught art history courses at the university level and have extensive experience giving talks, lectures, and gallery tours. Click here for more on my current projects.
