I had the honor of being the Artistic Producer for the 2025 Cohen New Works Festival: a week-long festival that featured over 40 new interdisciplinary artistic works (installations, plays, dance performances, compositions, etc.) created by and for students of UT Austin. As festival producer, I worked closely and collaboratively with a team of twelve students; managed a budget of $70,000; led weekly meetings with student producers, with faculty, and with project leads; curated the festival schedule and selection process with my team; supported hosting guest artist respondents, instructors, and panelists; etc.
