Which Büro location do you work out of?
Midtown
What does your company do, and what is your role?
At Art Market Liaison we help art collectors and their professional advisors navigate the sales side of the art world by coordinating with all of the auction houses and online platforms. As CEO of the business, it's my job to make sure that everything runs smoothly; from locking in new clients to negotiating with the auction houses, to sorting out all of the artwork details.
What do you like best about your job?
I love that I'm adding a fresh perspective to the art world that focuses on the business side of the industry, combining savvy expertise with my passion for art. I also love working with top collectors and hearing all of their stories about how they built their collection and how the Miami art world came to be.
What is your business motto/philosophy?
Work hard and never give up. If you follow your passion, hard work will always be rewarding! Don't let anyone tell you what you can or cannot be; you do you, and forge your own path.

What are your favorite Miami/Hollywood hangouts and activities?
Growing up in Miami, it's amazing to see how this city keeps growing! I love to hang in the Design District/Midtown/Wynwood areas because they definitely didn't exist as they are when I grew up on Miami Beach.
What's one (surprising, interesting, funny, awesome) thing you'd like for Büro members to know about you?
While in college studying abroad in Rome, Italy, I changed my major from Business to Art History. Literally every person asked me "what are you gonna do with an 'Art History' degree?", but that turned out to be the motivation I needed to actually do something amazing with it. #followyourdreams
What do you like best about working at Büro?
Absolutely love the vibe at Büro Midtown. It's very welcoming and the members are awesome to connect with in between meetings and work. Love working here!
What crazy adventure would you want to take?
I would love to take a European food and wine adventure. Sounds delicious already!
What are your secret survival strategies?
Always find the silver lining. Growth comes from struggle, so even setbacks can turn into great new business ideas and opportunities worth exploring.
What's your comfort food?
Noodles and sauce. The more red sauce, the better!
What movies do you watch, or reference, over and over?
Rom-coms! When life gets intense they always give me a good laugh.
