| Conservation is my second career, my first was creating and manufacturing wearable art for galleries, boutiques, and individuals. My love of history and costume made costume conservation a natural fit. Once the First Ladies Exhibition opened at NMAH, NPM was preparing to move and open the new museum and I took on the opportunity to be a part of this team. Years later, I still enjoy my work and the staff here, where there are always more challenges and opportunities.
Never one to remain still, I just completed my MBA in the Management of Non-Profits. |
