Since 2018, I have worked for Flight Path Dance Project, where I now serve as Program Director.
Flight Path is a non-profit serving young NYC dancers, with a mission to make arts education economically accessible by way of our tuition-free mandate.
​
I helped launch Flight Path, developing the infrastructure, programming, and administrative processes that have sustained the organization for seven years now.​
This work has given me a wealth of experience, especially in:
​​
​
-
Marketing & Communications
Newsletter writing, copywriting, social media, graphic design, web design, video editing
-
Arts Administration
Database management, financial management, artist liaising, contract writing
-
Non-Profit Governance
Board relations, grant writing, fundraising and development​​​​

​
Below are samples of my work with Flight Path, for which I created all content and design.​
Spring Concert
Each season, I write and design all marketing materials for our annual Spring Concert, including the program and the poster. Below is some of my most recent work.

Newsletter & Mailings
Each season, I produce Flight Path's monthly newsletter, as well as all additional mailing list communications. Here is just a handful of highlights, from dozens of campaigns over seven years. Click the image for the full publication.
Five Years of Flight Path
In 2023, we reached our 5 year milestone. I interviewed our guest choreographers, alumni, and incoming students, and produced a marketing document for our donors and community, celebrating all that we achieved and all that we are looking forward to.
Social Media
Between guest choreographer and dancer interviews, concert and event promotion, performance reels, and more, I have produced a wide range of content, including video editing, for Flight Path's social media pages. Here are just a few examples:
