During my time University of California, Riverside, I had the privilege of spearheading a diverse array of curatorial projects under the umbrella of UCR ARTSblock. This portfolio includes notable contributions to UCR/California Museum of Photography, UCR Sweeney Art Gallery, and Culver Center for the Arts. Additionally, I extended my curatorial expertise to The Old Mill Inn in Hatfield, Massachusetts, where my creative endeavors sought to bring together art and cultural experiences in a meaningful and engaging manner for visiting guests and the local community.
