Working as a museum professional is a delight in that I am introduced constantly to new work from around the world. I primarily operate in art handling and preventative conservation of pieces during installation.
Exposure: Native Art and Political Ecology
For this traveling exhibition, I functioned as team lead of art handlers and volunteers for the project.
