I have spent over thirteen years as a museum professional managing three dimensional historic artifact collections, coordinating and documenting conservation and restoration projects, hiring and supervising contractors, managing department budgets, identifying funders, and developing and implementing contracts, policies and standard operating procedures. As a collection manager and registrar for many years, I maintained historic structures and catalogued, rehoused, shipped, and photographed thousands of works of art, artifacts, and historic vehicles. My curatorial work has involved acquiring art, developing exhibitions, writing label copy, and providing a high level of service to visitors, students, researchers, and donors.
