Hello,
a bit about me:
Professionally, I am the 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 a Core Group member of the AIC Ethics Core Documents Revision Task Force and a founding member of 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.
