CURRENT PROJECTS
Cleveland Museum of Art, Under the direction of Sue Bergh, Curator of Art of the Americas
I am currently assisting the American Art Curator at the museum in the creation of written historical reports of major objects in the collection that the museum educators can use as background to craft gallery tours. The items included in this research project are inherent to my field of concentration and special interest, the Pre-Columbian Maya peoples.
