In 2020, she co-curated She Is Here, an exhibition for the Atlanta Contemporary celebrating twenty multigenerational and multicultural female artists and new artwork informed by the shifts of the pandemic, race relations and social & political divides. From 2019-2022, she was the curator for The Lola, a women’s club and co-working space, where she created an art program and rotating exhibitions featuring female-identifying artists in the Southeast.
