My name is Alex Hampton, I have experience in both science and art museums in a wide variety of roles. I have done everything from education programming to exhibit design. My educational background consists of a bachelor of arts in anthropology from the University of Wyoming, and a master of arts in museum studies from Baylor University. Over my time at both institutions I was able to work in several areas of the museum field but I mostly focused on exhibit development and design. That led me to the position with the Children's Museum of Houston. In my year with them I worked on several small scale and large scale projects on varying timelines. This taught me a lot about project management and meeting deadlines.
