​CULTURAL STRATEGIST | CREATIVE PLACEMAKING | INTERNATIONAL ARTS ADMINISTRATOR

Cultural Strategist | Creative Placemaking Leader | International Arts Administrator

I advance culture as civic infrastructure, helping municipalities and institutions activate public spaces, strengthen community identity, and align arts investment with long-term social and economic impact.

Born and raised in Mexico City, I bring over 20 years of experience managing cultural and artistic programming, public art installations, and community-centered initiatives across the United States and Mexico. My career has been rooted in a deep belief that accessible, meaningful arts experiences are essential for communities to thrive.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with artists, galleries, municipal agencies, designers, architectural firms, and community partners to develop inclusive cultural programs that reflect and serve a wide range of populations. ​

Since 2006, I have specialized in the design and implementation of creative placemaking initiatives in both the public and private sectors. My work has included producing large-scale cultural events at archaeological sites in Veracruz, Mexico; contributing to Mexico’s Centennial of the Revolution celebrations; and touring nationally with Cirque du Soleil on its Quidam tour.

In the United States, I led Scottsdale Public Art, commissioning international artists and producing Canal Convergence, a signature waterfront festival integrating public art, design, and community activation. 

In Mexico City, I served as Business Developer at Esrawe Studio, collaborating with leading cultural institutions on major design and public art initiatives. As well as being commissioned by Sordo Madaleno Architects for directing cultural activations and community areas.

In New York City, I managed public art commissions for Friends of the High Line, coordinating artists, fabricators, galleries, and installation teams for this beautiful NYC landmark.

I currently serve as Arts & Culture Manager for the Township of Maplewood, New Jersey, where I oversee the municipality’s annual arts and culture strategy, including exhibitions, performances, music series, film screenings, workshops, artist residencies, and heritage programming.
