CUNY Dance Initiative, City University of New York
I'm the founding director of a groundbreaking residency program that provides NYC choreographers and companies with rehearsal space and performance opportunities on 13 City University of New York (CUNY) college campuses throughout the five boroughs. I shaped the CUNY Dance Initiative from a pilot project into a formal, established program that has awarded 175+ residencies over the past seven years, and supports 22-24 artists annually. Working closely with a small team, I oversee the curatorial process, budget, marketing, fundraising, and daily logistics, and act as the liaison between awarded artists and CUNY college partner staff and faculty.

I overhauled the rental program for Live Arts'​ studios, theater, and ancillary spaces and boosted earned income by twenty percent without compromising artistic goals.
