About
Currently Gallery Director and Registrar at Sumpter Priddy III, Inc in Alexandria, VA, my previous position was the Director of Collections and Curator at the Rhode Island Historical Society (Providence). I specialize in collections management, personnel management, organizing collections and making recommendations for exhibitions -- and for deaccessions.
The RIHS, I reinstituted centralized registration and oversaw the implementation of the Society's first OPAC, which runs on the MINISIS, Inc. platform to permit cross-collections searching of all collection types.
I have more than two decades experience working in museums, developing exhibitions and public programs, cataloging and accessining collections, and managing public service and program delivery staff.
