Collaborative, future-oriented strategist and communicator dedicated to enabling organizations fully achieve their desired impact.
As a synergist and ideas catalyst, I’ve excelled in bringing people and ideas together to “make it new.” As a PhD student at Brown, I connected literature and the visual arts, informed by developments in the sciences and technology. After Brown, I brought together British and American artists, first for the British American Arts Association, then with my own nonprofit, British Arts in New York.
After managing the Artists’ Fellowship Program at the New York Foundation for the Arts, I brought consistency to its many publications, as its first Director of Communications, as well as a new sense of unity to an organization that had developed many divergent paths.
I created a new kind of digital advocacy coalition, as Founding Director of the National Initiative for a Networked Cultural Heritage, creating common ground for librarians, educators, museum directors, artists, scholars, and technologists to define common goals and strategies in building open and unified access to cultural resources online.
With an Advanced Certificate from NYU in Strategy and Leadership, I opened Knowledge Culture Consulting, working for clients on projects focused on how digital technologies change how we think, learn and work. I specialize in taking the many variables that make an organization or a project great and create a cohesive organizational vision and strategy to move it forward. By aligning the often competing energies and directives within an organization, I can enable it to operate more effectively, according to its founding principles and core mission. Bringing fresh insight, new energies and resources to bear on complex situations, I can produce clarity from chaos, enabling individuals and organizations to realign or reaffirm their goals and increase and focus their impact.
