Hi there. It’s great to be back at my 4th Arthouse Convergence. I have a huge passion for film and the live arts and have served as a marketer, fundraiser and change agent in the field for more than 30 years. Introducing the intersection of business and technology with the business of the arts is something I have promoted through my work in the integrated technology solutions market for a majority of my career. And, I am proud of my work with young up-and-coming leaders in the field having just completed a 20-year tenure as an adjunct teaching Brooklyn College graduate students the creative strategies associated with marketing and promoting the arts.
