Naia Duggan

I'm passionate about community spaces for arts and looking for a position that lets me participate in the creation of them. I have experience in multiple positions that exist in the scenes behind the arts world, and my wide variety of experiences have helped me build a repertoire of knowledge that is applicable to this position. I graduated with a Bachelors in Sociology and Anthropology with a minor in Fine arts at Southern Oregon University.

My career goal is to be a part of a team that works with engaging the public through programs and events to learn about the arts and culture on display or in connection to the institution.
