Summary
With my background as a Gallery Director, curator and art advisor, I am confident I would make an excellent addition to any gallery. While directing Calix Gustav Gallery in Miami my responsibilities were equally challenging as they were exhilarating and required confidence, tenacity and creativity, specially when dealing with immediate deadlines and financial constrains. My experiences demonstrate my ability to work with others through the creative process, while meeting the challenges presented to me. Moreover, my passion for art coupled with my ability to communicate effectively has afforded a unique talent for inspiring an appreciation of art in others.
