About

Since 2004, I’ve partnered with museums, universities and cultural organizations to create meaningful educational experiences. Current projects include strategic program planning, developing exhibitions, designing curricula for on site and outreach experiences, and building interpretive content.

In addition to consulting, I am the Director of Curatorial Affairs at the Baltimore Museum of Industry, leading the Collections, Archives and Programming team and working with staff to make existing and future programs and exhibitions more engaging and visitor-centered. Previously, I have worked at the Oakland Museum of California, the Lower East Side Tenement Museum, Museum of the City of New York and California Academy of Sciences. I have my MSEd in Museum Education from the Bank Street Graduate School of Education. I currently serve on the Editorial Review Panel for the Journal of Museum Education.
