Current and Past Projects

Artists at Work North Adams Cohort, 2024-25

I was recently awarded a salary grant from Artists at Work, a national organization in the spirit of the WPA that is designed to support artists and their communities through artistic civic engagement. This time is split between my own artistic practice and work with a community organization. My project will focus on the rising number of young adults diagnosed with cancer and finding new modalities of care. To date, AAW has provided 70 artists and culture workers across 11 states with a salary and health benefits, leveraging their power and creativity in partnership with over 80 cultural and community organizations throughout the nation. I am thrilled to be part of this program, and thrilled to be able to make a local impact.

Group Consulting
and Speaking Events

I regularly speak to cultural and business groups about the essentials of digital marketing and the basics of content writing and promotion. As one of MASS MoCA’s Assets for Artists program trainers, I give presentations on digital marketing best practices to grant-funded artists from across New England. I have offered talks and workshops to artists funded through the Boston Foundation’s Live Arts grant, small businesses in the Berkshires via funding from 1Berkshire, and members of Rhode Island’s What Cheer Writers Club, and the Newton Arts Association, among others.

Consulting for Artists

As an artist, I’m honored to merge my marketing expertise with my creative perspective. I work with artists and creatives who want to sharpen their digital marketing strategy, build a following online, launch new projects, and more. I’ve been lucky to work with poet laureates, architects, writers, quilters…so many amazing creative people.

In the past, I have provided subsidized consulting for artists through grant funding from MASS MoCA’s Assets for Artists, the North Adams Artist Impact Coalition, and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Adams Theater Communications

I’m proud to be working as the Adams Theater’s director of communications as it gets off the ground and helps further revitalization efforts in Adams, Mass. The theater is an inspiring project, seeking to build community and make new spaces for all kinds of curated cultural events.

What I Did in 2023

What a year! I finished cancer treatment, got published in Oprah, helped launch the Adams Theater’s pop-up season and the Massachusetts Founders Network, and worked with so many wonderful, brilliant creative people, small businesses, and nonprofits. I also developed an SEO obsession.

Feature Writing

For the past 15 years, I’ve written regular feature stories for local and national publications, including Oprah Daily, Modern Farmer, The B, and Williams Magazine. I often cover Berkshire County food, farms, and their various intersections. From 2015-2022, I wrote a monthly Berkshire Eagle column that focused on using local ingredients.

Massachusetts Founders Network

In 2023, I worked with Lever to launch the Massachusetts Founders Network, a new community hub where startup founders can find and share resources, advice, and perspective.

Leading up to the launch and through 2023, I helped shape MFN’s communications and SEO strategies, curated content and narrative direction for the MFN Journal, assembled and managed a team of writers, and wrote all of the branding and web copy.

Creative Support
for Great Sky Media

GSM is an Emmy-nominated video production studio that creates work for high-profile clients across New England. As GSM’s dedicated communications consultant, I work on narrative and quality control for video projects, and help with other aspects of pre-production.
