I am the Assistant Conservator at the Los Angeles Natural History Museum (NHMLAC) and a graduate of the dual-Masters conservation program at University College London (MA, MSc.). I previously received an AB in Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology from Bryn Mawr College.
At NHMLAC I treat natural history specimens as well as cultural heritage objects and perform testing on new materials proposed for use in exhibit case design. In addition to objects conservation I create wax sculptures, which is an interest I developed during graduate study at UCL.
I have worked at the Harvard Semitic Museum in Cambridge, MA, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, MA, and the Royal Albert Memorial Museum in Exeter, UK. My favorite eras are the Late Bronze Age and the Late Triassic Period.
