I get asked all the time what inspired my career aspirations, and that is the truth. I would set up the houses for hours, making sure to glue each piece in its proper place. I would host "showings" to anyone who visited my room, providing commentary on why I chose to put each item in its specific location. The creative freedom of constructing spaces and narratives for my dolls enamored me, so I decided to pursue a career in museums and historic sites.

I am currently the Associate Curator of Contemporary Art at the North Carolina Museum of Art (Raleigh and Winston-Salem), a position that encourages my passion for examining culture through an artistic lens. My professional mission is to provide engaging museum experiences for our public through exhibition curation, interpretation, and design. I strive to restore access, inclusion, and agency in the museum field for all communities, especially those historically marginalized by our institutions.
