Executive Director with 17+ years of experience in museum and non-profit leadership, with a background in archaeology and science-based inquiry that shapes a pragmatic, reflective approach to institutional change. I’ve led organizations through strategic planning, business development, and complex operational initiatives, with a focus on strengthening mission, governance, and public impact. My work centres on conserving and sharing stories of the human past, and on developing innovative approaches to interpretation, research translation, and public engagement. I have extensive experience in grant development, stakeholder engagement, and partnership-building across academic, non-profit, and community sectors. Curious by nature and collaborative by practice, I am interested in how research, interpretation, and public storytelling can inform contemporary conversations about heritage and stewardship. I keep a magnifying glass on my desk as a reminder that there is always something new to discover.
