What is your education and/or training?

I am a paintings conservator who earned my master's degree from the Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation (WUDPAC). I actively participate in hands-on condition assessments, conservation treatments, and technical analyses during my work with the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM) Lunder Conservation Center. I also have a keen interest in outreach through public-facing conservation projects, gallery tours, and interactive virtual webinars. Before working at SAAM, I held graduate student internships with the Saint Louis Art Museum (SLAM) and Dallas Museum of Art (DMA). I also serve as a 2021-2023 Director with the Washington Conservation Guild and previously served as a 2019-2021 Professional Education and Training Officer with the American Institute for Conservation (AIC) Emerging Conservation Professionals Network (ECPN).
