What I Do
I share stories at the heart of collections by promoting meaningful dialogue about cultural content.
Search for a cross-pollination of passionate people to collaborate with.
Direct how and by what means digital and traditional collections environments are navigated and understood for access.
Promote and preserve digital, paper and object-based resources by creating policies and procedures for processing, digitizing and rights management.
Encourage adaptation to new circumstances, and propose innovative collaborations and ideas when necessary.
