What I do at the Chazen: I direct the museum’s communications program
When I started: January 2014
On Saturdays you’ll find me: on the lake, with my dogs, anywhere outside
What I love about the Chazen: it is the living embodiment of the Wisconsin Idea
My alma mater: Carleton College, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
My college major: studio art-printmaking, journalism-public relations
My favorite artwork not at the Chazen: any of Aggie Zed‘s little men.
Last job before the Chazen: director of communications for a DC-based trade association
First job: cutting mats at Gallery 39
Side hustle: teaching puppy kindergarten and all manner of dog-training classes
My creative outlet: knitting, spinning, making pictures
Most unusual job: director of media relations for the men’s professional billiards tour
