My work with organizations focuses on how cultural institutions recruit, prepare, and sustain their workforce. I approach questions of equity not as a matter of mindset alone, but as a matter of institutional design—policies, incentives, training structures, and everyday practices that shape who is able to enter, advance, and remain.

I work with organizations to think critically about talent development, leadership pipelines, performance expectations, and organizational culture, particularly in fields where artistic excellence and economic precarity are often in tension. These conversations are grounded in data, lived experience, and an understanding of how arts organizations actually function—not how we wish they did.

Engagements are typically exploratory rather than prescriptive, helping institutions surface the assumptions embedded in their systems and identify where change is possible, sustainable, and meaningful.

I regularly develop lectures and conversations tailored to students, artists, administrators, and leadership teams. These sessions draw on my experience as a professional musician, arts administrator, and researcher, and are designed to bridge theory and practice.

Recent and recurring topics include:

• Artistic careers and labor markets

• Equity, ethics, and institutional responsibility

• Training systems and workforce preparation in the arts

• Leadership, decision-making, and organizational culture

I am particularly interested in working with programs that are rethinking how they prepare people for the realities of today’s jobs.

Much of my work sits in the space between artistic training and institutional reality. I work with artists, students, and early-career professionals who are trying to make sense of systems that were rarely explained to them—how organizations function, how decisions are made, and where leverage actually exists.

Rather than offering one-size-fits-all advice, I help individuals and groups ask better questions about their goals, constraints, and options, and about the kinds of careers—and institutions—they want to help build.
