Capabilities

As a museum collections contractor, I provide expert services in collections management, digitization, and metadata standardization to enhance the accessibility and preservation of cultural heritage materials. With experience at the Smithsonian Institution, National Building Museum, and Villa La Pietra Museum, I specialize in cataloging, condition assessment, and preventive conservation using TMS, EMu, and PastPerfect. My work integrates technical accuracy with ethical stewardship, ensuring alignment with institutional and federal standards. Trained in cultural heritage law and museum ethics, I combine hands-on care with digital asset management expertise. As an independent woman-owned contractor, I deliver reliable, detail-oriented support that modernizes collections, expands public access, and upholds the integrity of shared cultural heritage.
