  • What I do, where I work

  • I work at the Museum of Science, where I have been for over 10 years. I began my career as a museum educator, and then I became an exhibit planner and worked on exhibitions that reflected the principles of universal design. Currently, I oversee research and evaluation efforts related to informal learning at the Museum of Science, with a focus on issues of equity and access for persons with disabilities.
