I graduated with a Masters of Arts in Heritage and Museum Sciences from Texas Tech University in December 2019. While in Graudate School I worked extensively with collections and the museum objects, looking how to catalog and condition report as part of my daily work. I enjoy exploring museums and historical objects in different contexts, whether through video games or other mediums that allow you to explore them through an altered, or completely different context.
