What I do, where I work
As the head of Visitor Interpretive Programs (aka “Public Programs”), I oversee exhibits, docents, early childhood, and public programs.
We are currently managing our temporary facility in downtown San Francisco while also preparing for our new home back in Golden Gate Park to be open in Fall 2008. The new California Academy of Sciences will be a natural history museum, aquarium, planetarium, and research institution.
Current position
Director, Visitor Interpretive Programs at California Academy of Sciences
Earlier positions
