Since joining the staff of the Dixon in 2007, she has helped organize a number of exhibitions for the museum, some highlights include "Regional Dialect: American Scene Paintings from the John and Susan Horseman Collection" (2009), and its follow-up, : Modern Dialect: American Paintings from the John and Susan Horseman Collection" (2012); "The Impressionist Revolution: Forty Years of French Art at the Dixon" (2016); "The Real Beauty: The Artistic World of Eugenia Errázuriz" (2018); and "Sweet Sixteen: 16 Galleries, 16 Exhibitions" (2022).

To reduce disruptions during the lecture, guests are asked to bring their own food from the cafe to the auditorium. You may request to-go containers to make the trip to your seat easier.
