I am forever indebted to the friend who suggested I look at museums for part-time work while in my graduate program; that suggestion led to a gig as a research assistant at Shedd Aquarium. After one particularly satisfying exhibit evaluation, I was enamored with informal learning and museums! Thereafter, I had the immense privilege to take on full-time research and evaluation roles at Shedd that deepened my research & evaluation acumen. See my CV for details.I also cordially invite you to explore my online portfolio: https://francesmast.wixsite.com/portfolio Here you can read more about core areas of my experience and previous work, view work samples, read about my career path, and see my professional affiliations and leadership positions. I look forward to connecting with you about your organization's needs!
