I believe
in the importance of museology. The study of history asks & answers fundamental questions about our human identity. Museums perform the vital public service of fostering a dialogue about our actions and fascinations in the present. »
I know
about museums, history, and design. I have a Bachelor of Arts in history from Washburn University in Topeka, Kan. and I am currently completing a Master of Arts in museum science at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Tex. I have two years of experience in museums. »
I design
websites, print materials, and databases. My nine years of experience in web design using HTML, CSS, and PHP enhance my ability to turn a design into a fully functional website. In 2008, I expanded my skillset to include database design.»
