Collections Management
My work in collections management and museum research is grounded in a belief that museums are not just keepers of objects, but stewards of stories, and the narratives they choose to tell shape how we understand history, identity, and culture. I approach museum design and archival work as opportunities to engage critically with how collections are organized, presented, and preserved. The way an artifact is labeled, displayed, or archived carries as much weight as the object itself. Through careful stewardship and research, I seek to honor the integrity of both the materials and the people behind them, while advocating for inclusive, reflective narratives. Museums have the power to illuminate silenced histories and reframe our collective memory, and that responsibility matters deeply to me. The photographs on this page were taken at the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology, Mammalogy Collection—a space that continues to inspire my thinking around preservation, taxonomy, and the quiet power of catalogued knowledge.
