Below I am highlighting my roles as Canadian Executive Director at RAW:natural born artists and owner of Moniker Gallery & Studios to display a business savvy skill set.
I have worked with RAW:natural born artists since February, 2015. I started out as the Toronto Showcase Director and grew into the role of Canadian Executive Director by November of the same year. I am leading the expansion of RAW within Canada growing from operations in 2 Canadian cities to 10 in less than 2 years. I manage a 10 person team and oversee every aspect of each showcase. In an average year we curate over 32 multi-media art showcases across 7 provinces, each featuring 60 - 120 artists in multiple disciplines. The hectic schedule has taught me to be hyper organized and streamlined.
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF

Owning and operating Moniker Gallery was an absolutely amazing experience! Throughout its time, Moniker developed and managed hundreds of art, music, dance, cultural, media and corporate events. As sole owner, I was responsible for all aspects of the business. I did everything from painting, hanging artwork, curation, revenue generation, graphic design, branding, audio/video set-ups, social media and sponsorship generation. A few months after opening, I expanded to the neighboring location opening up Moniker Studios. Moniker Studios provided professional studio space for serious artists. Like any business owner, I worked 24/7 and loved every minute of it!
