I am a seasoned bilingual (french/English) art historian with nearly two decades of experience in strategic planning, project management, grant writing, and organizational leadership across arts and cultural sectors. With a proven track record in leading teams, managing complex projects, and fostering community engagement, I bring a wealth of expertise in curating, developing initiatives, and securing funding. My PhD in Art History underpins my analytical and research skills, while my hands-on experience has honed my ability to manage people, resources, and timelines effectively. I am now seeking to leverage my organizational, communication, and strategic planning skills in a new field, bringing a fresh perspective and a deep commitment to innovation, leadership, and collaboration.

I would love to collaborate with you, en anglais ou en français.​
