My sweet spot is the balancing act between a creative vision and a logistical challenge.
I studied Economics and Art History at Indiana University. Whether attending the London School of Economics as a summer student, researching economic education at the Federal Reserve, or modernizing financial systems for the Speed Art Museum, I discovered I’m a "finish line" person—I love the nitty-gritty of a process and the satisfaction of seeing a complex plan come together.
My career began at Artlink Gallery, where I assisted the gallery director with a CRM migration, hung and tore down three shows, and coordinated an online (COVID era!) art market with 50 artisans. For the past five years, I’ve grown with Sievo, a Finnish software firm. After starting in Chicago, I moved to Helsinki to bridge the gap between our US and European teams. As a project manager for Fortune 500 clients, I manage global software implementations from Indonesia to Manchester and have occasionally taken the microphone to host our annual customer networking event, SievoFriends.
I stay connected to the creative world through sewing and pattern-cutting, using vintage Finnish textiles to explore the intersection of fashion and culture. I also continue to sharpen my visual skills through oil painting and croquis drawing.
My perspective is rooted in the Midwest but shaped by international experience. I’m as comfortable with a graph as a gallery, and I’m always looking for the next chance for those worlds to collide.
