Editorial
I work as a freelance editor focusing on museum and gallery exhibition catalogs, institutional websites, and artist and collective publishing projects. I am available for copy editing, developmental editing, proofreading, and project management for publications in the subject areas of modern and contemporary art, art and architecture history, and museum studies.
I rely on a strong knowledge of the Chicago Manual of Style and my experience includes working regularly with authors who write in English as a second language (especially those whose first language is Spanish). The editing I do is informed by my pursuits in curatorial and educational contexts, from teaching writing to overseeing public communication in leadership roles at arts and culture organizations.

Georgia (2019–Present) is an online journal that I co-edit with Shoghig Halajian and Suzy Halajian.
Georgia looks to both artistic and organizing efforts for suggestions of a way forward, away from the complicities of cultural production and toward greater solidarity with communities in struggle. Through a series of invitations—in the form of texts and conversations—Georgia emphasizes shifting perspectives and historical case studies to localize the pressing conflicts of today and to explore the contested sociopolitical functions of art and its larger reception.
Georgia is supported by a grant from the Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant.
