She earned her BA in Art History at Columbia University, with a focus on 20th century art and contemporary video, media, and time-based arts, and her MA at the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College. Her thesis exhibition, Another Time, included films by Chen Chieh-jen, Tacita Dean, and Peter Hutton. She worked closely with curator Maria Lind on The Greenroom: Reconsidering the Documentary and Contemporary Art, a large-scale group exhibition and research project at The Hessel Museum of Art in 2008. Her curatorial contributions included a visual display of literature on the documentary, a slide lecture performance by Andrea Geyer, a screening of the work of Chantal Akerman, and a local television broadcast series of artist videos. She has curated several group shows, including Manifesting Emptiness (The Betty Rymer Gallery, School of the Art Institute of Chicago), and A perfect human (Dorsch Gallery, Miami). In the end of 2008, she was commissioned by Bruce Ferguson, Director of F.A.R. (Future Arts Research), to research and analyze the terrain of art biennials with the objective of identifying problems and possible models for future large-scale exhibitions.
