Most recently, I wrote the text for the 2011 DC Public Library Services and Facilities
Report: A Framework for Continuing Success.
I have worked directly with the education departments of museums
as well as with design companies (ESIDesign, Argyle Design and others), assisting with museum projects. This work has
included writing and editing text for websites, exhibit panels, educational activities for exhibits, auxiliary curricular
materials, teachers' guides and other material for educators, and exhibition catalogs.
My
work has been included in exhibits in the following museums, among others.
American
Museum of Natural History
Brooklyn Botanical Gardens
Brooklyn Children's Museum
Children's Museum of Houston
Children's Museum of Manhattan
Prospect Park Audubon
Center
Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of American History
