I'm a writer, curator, and producer of artist projects and exhibitions living in New York City.

I'm the New York Director at Anat Ebgi. Previously, I worked at Simone Subal Gallery and 47 Canal.

In 2020, I founded Octagon, a curatorial initiative focused on working closely with artists to produce long-form solo projects. Octagon's exhibitions have been reviewed by the Brooklyn Rail and AQNB.
