KAAHC Staff
The Ketchikan Area Arts and Humanities Council staff is a hard working, creative team. Our offices are located at the Main Street Gallery at 330 Main Street, Ketchikan, AK. Known now as the Main Street Gallery, our building was built in 1946 as a Christian Science Church and remained so until 2008 when KAAHC purchased and renovated it. Its a great place to create, and to help other create, impactful experiences based on artistry, culture and community surrounded by art, music and dancing.

Executive Director
My training includes a Bachelor of Music from the University of New Mexico, a Master of Music from the University of Southern California, and Doctoral Work at the University of Maryland, all in Oboe Performance. After playing professionally in orchestras across the country for many years I took up managing them. Eventually I decided it was time for a grand adventure and I packed what would fit in a U-Haul and drove from Michigan through Canada directly to the Ketchikan Area Arts and Humanities Council. It has been my honor to become part of the Ketchikan community and to help facilitate the direction of this extraordinary organization. I believe the arts are an integral part of who we are as individuals, they help us understand the world, and they can teach us how to treat each other with compassion and respect. The arts in Ketchikan are powerful, nurturing and inspiring and help to make our island even more breathtaking. -
