ABOUT

Born in Landstuhl, Germany, and raised in the Washington metropolitan area, I grew up in a single-parent household where I watched my mother’s dedication and my grandparents’ guidance shape my values of independence and work ethic. My mother, now an interior designer, constantly sought ways to make our home more inspiring, filling it with affordable prints and abstract works from local shops—unknowingly planting the early seeds of my appreciation for art.

In 2020, while studying, I launched a resale and consignment venture, growing a social media presence of over 10,000 followers. Sourcing high-demand sneakers and apparel, I built a strong client base and developed an eye for market demand, curation, and storytelling—skills that later translated seamlessly into the art world. After a brief time at Bowie State University, I shifted my focus to expanding my business in Los Angeles, New York, and Las Vegas.

In mid-2022, a spontaneous trip to Amsterdam to meet my father for the first time in memory shifted my perspective. By 2024, I relocated permanently, drawn to the city’s creative energy and international art scene. I immersed myself in galleries, engaging with artists, collectors, and gallerists, leading to advice from Dutch photographer Jeroen Hofman to gain hands-on experience in the field.

Determined to break into the industry, I offered to work unpaid at various galleries, eventually earning opportunities through persistence. My efforts paid off when Dirk den Hartog, art dealer and owner of Galerie Mia Joosten, invited me to the 2025 Art On Paper preview and offered to mentor me. Shortly after, I was hired as an assistant at Galerie Caroline O’Breen, where I was entrusted with managing gallery operations.

Now, I focus on sourcing and placing works for collectors, drawing from a growing network of artists, galleries, and dealers. With dual citizenship in the U.S. and Europe, I’m able to move fluidly between markets, connecting collectors with works that might otherwise be out of reach. While I continue to expand my knowledge through courses at Sotheby’s Institute of Art in London, my real-world experiences have been just as valuable in navigating the market and understanding client needs.

Beyond dealing, my long-term goal is to make the art world more accessible to a new generation of collectors while still catering to seasoned collectors seeking rare and investment-worthy pieces. At the same time, I aim to showcase and elevate emerging artists—especially those who may not have traditional access to global audiences. Recognizing the need for greater diversity in the art world, I strive to expand access, representation, and engagement for both emerging artists and collectors alike.
