Hobbies
I am a visual artist, performer, writer, and radio producer. As a recent (2014-2015) Fulbright Fellow in Vienna, Austria, I developed an independent year-long research project, for which I produced a radio documentary. With a collaborator I produce an ongoing online podcast project, which combines interview journalism with fiction and audio performances. I also have extensive experience working in an art museum: at the David and Alfred Smart Museum of Art, the free public museum at the University of Chicago. Working there from 2009 to 2014, I assisted with all aspects of exhibition and public program production, from research to logistical support, to education programming, to grant reporting.
