Summary

For the past five years, I've been working for a world's largest privately owned art dealership: Park West Gallery. They are one of the major and most prevalent companies in the art world who celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2019, Park West Gallery is a land base company and it operates globally on six major cruise lines. Personally, I was part of the on-board art teams and I was situated on cruise companies like CCL, NCL, PCL, RCI. I started out as an associate and worked my way up to the position of an Art Gallery Director where I currently work.
