ABOUT

I am an emerging conservator and recent graduate from the Queen's University Master of Art Conservation program, where I specialized in Artifacts Treatment. Prior to starting at Queen's, I received my Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Chicago in 2018 with a double major in Anthropology and Chemistry and a minor in Visual Arts.

I have been fortunate to intern and work at a variety of institutions, including the National Museum of the American Indian, the Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Royal Ontario Museum, and the Hong Kong Heritage Museum. In addition to helping me develop a wide range of treatment skills for a variety of objects and materials, these opportunities have also fostered my passion for supporting the heritage goals of Indigenous communities and other originating groups through collaborative conservation practices. I look forward to continuing this work throughout my career.
