About Me

I love working with kids and art! My biggest dream is to be a museum educator, médiatrice culturelle ou guide conférencier, in Paris. Contact me with any leads!

I was born and raised in Virginia, and currently live in Connecticut. I work at the Yale University Art Gallery as the John Walsh Fellow in Museum Education, guiding visitors ages 2-102 in looking closely at art. I went to Yale Divinity School for my master’s, studying religion & the arts, and to William & Mary for undergrad, studying art history and English literature. My research interests include the relationships between medieval theology and material culture, and object-based pedagogies in- and outside of museum spaces. Ask me about late medieval birth girdles!

I have also been an eighth-grade history teacher, a nanny, a summer camp volunteer coordinator, and an art editor.
