What do you do and why is it awesome?

I’m the assistant director of Martine Chaisson Gallery in the Warehouse District. I do everything from helping plan events to curating shows. MCG just made two years and besides bringing new art to the community, we have also been able to work with so many great organizations in the city such as Prospect.2, NOLA Fashion Week, and Tales of the Cocktail.

In addition to working at the gallery, I work at Hattie Sparks. It’s a boutique uptown that emphasizes local and regional designers, such as Jolie & Elizabeth, Saint Claude NOLA, Camilyn Beth, Shannon Kirsten Designs, and See Scout Sleep.

What inspires you?
All of the amazing women that I am so blessed to call my friends. They are all doing so many interesting things all over the country and inspire me daily.
