Areas of Interest

My interests lie in using evaluation to help museums create meaningful programs and experiences that connect with visitors. In particular, I am interested in improving the curatorial and exhibition process to create optimal experiences for visitors. Prior to joining ILI, I assisted with the development of temporary exhibits and gave guided tours to school and adult groups in history museums.
