I've called Boston home for more than a decade, and one of my favorite things is helping visitors discover the city beyond the guidebooks. I'm currently a PhD candidate studying artificial intelligence, and my work sits at the intersection of technology, creativity, and culture. Outside of academia, I'm a working artist whose practice spans collage, sculpture, conceptual art, and creative technology. I also create visual performances for events and parties, DJ, and participate actively in Boston and Cambridge's art and technology communities. Because of these experiences, I'm especially interested in the people, ideas, and creative movements that shape cities. Whether we're discussing revolutionary history, public art, scientific innovation, neighborhood change, or contemporary culture, I enjoy connecting the stories of the past with the forces shaping Boston today. My tours are thoughtful, conversational, and personalized rather than scripted or fast-paced. I enjoy creating space for questions, discussion, and curiosity, and many guests tell me they appreciate how relaxed and engaging the experience feels. I believe the best tours feel less like a lecture and more like exploring the city with a knowledgeable local friend. Whether you're visiting Boston for the first time, in town for a conference, or looking for a deeper understanding of the city's creative and intellectual life, I'd love to share some of my favorite places, stories, and perspectives with you.

Why do some people get monuments while others are forgotten? Why do certain sculptures become beloved city icons while others spark controversy? What can public art tell us about the values of a city? Join me for a walking exploration of Boston's most fascinating public artworks, monuments, and memorials. Together we'll trace more than 150 years of Boston history through sculpture, architecture, and public space, examining how art shapes collective memory and how each generation reimagines the stories it chooses to tell. We'll encounter Civil War heroes, children's book characters, abolitionists, immigrants, presidents, and civil rights leaders while discussing the artists who created these works, the communities that commissioned them, and the debates that continue to surround them today. Perfect for art lovers, history enthusiasts, architects, designers, curious travelers, and anyone interested in seeing Boston through a different perspective.
