I am a future museum professional and unabashed gamer geek/fantasy nerd/Japanophile. I hold a B.A. in Humanities with an Asian Studies minor from the University of Maryland University College, a M.A. in Museum Studies at the Johns Hopkins University. I also hold a Certificate in Digital Curation from the Johns Hopkins University.

I have volunteered with the Indianapolis Museum of Art as part of their Wikipedia e-Volunteer program, and I created Wikipedia:WikiProject Collections Care as part of a for-credit, e-Internship project.

My museum field interests lay in collections and I hope to enter into a career in Collection Management.

Prior Work Experience

I served in the United States Army from 2001 to 2004 as a 68T Animal Care Specialist. I also worked as a civilian Veterinary Technician from August 2004 to December 2006 before returning to school full time to pursue my B.A. and M.A. For additional professional information about me, please visit my LinkedIn profile.
