Work with Clare

I am a cultural strategist, nonprofit leader, curator, and researcher. My work can take the form of full-time leadership, nonprofit consulting, project-based strategy and advisory work, curatorial engagements, and collaborations across organizational strategy, research, fundraising, communications, and cultural development.

My experience spans community education, independent cultural production, museums and galleries, higher education, and over a decade of institutional and nonprofit leadership. Across these settings, I have learned to connect ideas, relationships, information, and operations so that cultural work can move forward.

I work with organizations, artists, and collaborators in the Greater Philadelphia area.

When I can be useful

A program or initiative needs a workable plan

I can help define priorities, connect ambition to capacity, map responsibilities and dependencies, and build a practical path from an idea to implementation.

Leadership needs clearer evidence for a decision

I use interviews, surveys, field research, data, and synthesis to clarify what is happening, identify meaningful choices, and support an informed next step.

Participation has plateaued or changed

I can examine audience information, communications, programming, partnerships, access, and relationships to understand who is participating, who is not, and where growth is possible.

Fundraising information is fragmented

I can strengthen donor information, campaign planning, grant narratives, case-making, and repeatable processes so development work is more coordinated and usable.

Staff are exploring AI without shared systems or safeguards

I help arts, humanities, nonprofit, and mission-driven organizations assess and implement AI while preserving human judgment, creative labor, privacy, relationships, and institutional knowledge.

Forms of Engagement

Organizational leadership

Full-time senior roles or fractional leadership for organizations that need sustained strategic and operational support without immediately adding a permanent position.

Project-based strategy

Focused consulting or advisory work that helps an organization understand a challenge, establish priorities, strengthen systems, and move toward implementation.

Curatorial + cultural projects

Exhibitions, public programs, interpretive projects, artist-centered initiatives, and collaborations that connect cultural inquiry with public experience.

Research + writing

Applied research, public scholarship, strategic narratives, and writing that make complex material useful to organizations, communities, and decision-makers.

Project-based engagements can be focused or expansive—from planning a program or project, developing a campaign, redesigning a database, or building a measurement framework to working alongside staff through implementation. I can also support broader organizational planning when the scope calls for it. Each engagement is shaped around the decision, system, or public outcome an organization needs.
