Description / Biography

I earned a B.A. in anthropology from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and an M.S. in museum studies and anthropology from the University of Colorado at Boulder. My museum experience includes work at the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History, Denver Art Museum, Milwaukee Public Museum, and the Pitt Rivers Museum of Ethnology and Archaeology at Oxford University.

My work focuses on administration of the Logan Museum, Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) compliance, management and preservation of the Logan Museum’s collections, increasing curricular points of access to the museum’s collections, teaching collections management in the Museum Studies Program, and directing the Center for Collections Care (C3). I authored and implemented over ten NEH, IMLS, and NAGPRA grants to increase the preservation of and access to Logan Museum collections, support C3, and accelerate consultation and repatriation efforts.
