Title: Education Specialist, Exhibition Projects and Family Programs

What do you do at the Museum? I help develop exhibitions and public programs.

What is your favorite object in the Museum?The Greensboro Lunch Counter. To me, it represents the possibility of change, and the influence that young people can have on our world.

I also really love some of the weirder things in our collection, like this framed collection of locks of hair from our first fourteen presidents. Would you want to hang this on your wall? Ew. Kind of creepy, yet very cool.
