Annie is an innovator in arts administration, a connector of interdisciplinary dots, and a builder of extraordinary teams. She has more than twenty years of experience in the development, management, and implementation of creative projects for a diverse range of public and private cultural institutions and arts organizations. From 2016 to 2020, Annie was the Principal of her eponymous consultancy where she supported artists in the realization of creative projects, consulted on cultural sector engagement with climate change, led interpretive planning teams, and authored exhibition development processes with such high-level clients as the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Now + There, and The Tenement Museum.

For eight years prior, she led teams at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA and The Walters Museum in Baltimore, MD where she worked with such institutions and artists as the British Museum, Nick Cave, Cleveland Art Museum, the Field Museum, and Strandbeest creator Theo Jansen to develop and travel large, international exhibition projects. In her work at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, she traveled exhibitions across the United States and Canada that helped connect the lessons of the holocaust to contemporary issues. She began her career in the exhibitions department at The Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution where she worked with leading contemporary artists such as Xu Bing, Cai Guo-Qiang, and Raghubir Singh. Annie holds a Masters Degree in Museum Studies from George Washington University in Washington, DC and a BA in History from Colby College in Waterville, ME.

Annie brings curiosity, good humor, energy, respect, and a healthy dose of organization to everything she does. When she’s not dreaming up new experiences for The Experience Alchemists, she’s taking hikes with her dog, going to concerts, traveling to new places, listening to podcasts, and writing about the cultural sector. Annie’s latest thinking is highlighted in Blooloop’s Popping the Pop Culture Museum Bubble and Getting Real About Climate Change and the Cultural Sector and on the TEA blog post Modern Love: Museum Heartbreak.
