Hello,

a bit about me:

Professionally, I am the Assistant Conservator of Objects & Program Assistant at Balboa Art Conservation Center. I received my M.S. in Art Conservation from the Winterthur/ University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation in 2022 and my B.A. with Honors in Archaeology from Stanford University in 2018 and my. I am currently the chair of the AIC Ethics Core Documents Revision Task Force and a founding member of the Black Art Conservators group. I also co-host the "Preservation for the People" podcast put on by the Black Art Conservators group. My research interests include equity and inclusion in conservation, preserving ephemera, and fabrication of inorganic objects. I am particularly passionate about public engagement and community connections within art conservation and cultural heritage institutions in the United States. My long-term career goal is to practice people-centered conservation by way of contributing my conservation skillset to marginalized communities (especially if Black and/or Indigenous) for the preservation and continuation of their culture through caring for cultural heritage. In my free time I enjoy dancing, elaborately painting my nails, and crocheting.
