Since joining the organization in 2018 as the Director of Public Projects and Logistics, I worked closely with the Biennale Artistic Director, team, and curators to realize the goals of the Open Air Museum and Residency programs. As the Program Manager, I was responsible for oversight and realization of all public art projects, public programming initiatives, and International Residencies that comprise the Vancouver Biennale mandate. In addition to leading the Biennale project team, I work closely with partners, including City of Vancouver and Vancouver Parks Board, private stakeholders, and public institutions such as the Museum of Vancouver and the Vancouver Maritime Museum.

Curator, LandMarks 2017

Jan 2015 - Jun 2018
I am one of a team of five curators/teams responsible for the artistic vision LandMarks 2017: Art + Places + Perspectives, a network of site-specific, community-based, and collaborative art projects that took place in National Parks Sites across Canada in 2017. While the majority of LandMarks 2017 commissions have been completed, I am continuing to work on facilitating permanent installation and creation of the second phase of a four-part permanent installation by Michael Belmore. In 2017, I also acted as Curatorial Liaison between the Curatorial and Management teams of the project, and assisted with the production and editing of the catalogue. Show less
