Campaign Statement
Having grown up in NYC and enjoyed the honor of attending The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art (A’11) I possess a deep commitment to the role civic responsibility plays within the arts community. As I earn my MA in arts administration I am interested in investigating how to better connect, evaluate and even enforce an institution to its mission and community. I’m excited to apply my development acumen to encourage a stronger alumni network, stabilize its financial plan and work towards a tuition-free Cooper Union.
