Objects Conservator
Washington DC
I studied Art Conservation for my undergraduate degree at the University of Delaware (2009), then came to the UK to get my MA in Principles of Conservation (2013) and my MSc in Conservation for Archaeology and Museums (2015) at the University College of London. After graduating from UCL, I was the Kress Fellow in Conservation at Winterthur working on Chinese export lacquer and preventive conservation, I am currently the Mellon Fellow in Conservation at Historic New England. I have a strong interest in wooden artifact conservation, preventive conservation, and historic homes.
