About Me

I am an accomplished and award-winning museum professional, business owner, and former consultant, with a wide range of management, leadership, design, and hands-on project experience. My strong suits are exhibitions, strategic planning, museum programming, museum operations, donor cultivation, grant writing, and financial management.

My expertise lies in creating bilingual (English/Spanish) exhibitions for visitors that address different learning styles, whether the experience be a hands-on mechanical interactive, a computer interactive, an object/story theater, live animal exhibit, model, audio component, diorama, or a simple text panel with related object/specimen and graphics.

Inclusion is a critical part of my museum practice, including multilingual exhibitions and education materials, creating exhibitions that allow for quiet spaces for those with sensory processing challenges, creating museum or camp social stories for visitors with autism, or training visitor services, security, and education staff about autism and service dogs. This passion comes from raising a daughter with high functioning autism and seeing her challenges as we visit museums.
